Rain can’t dampen Tabith’s confidence
Although the weather was cloudy and foggy yesterday, election campaign of the city corporation polls continued in full swing amid enthusiasm and festivity.
BNP mayor candidate for Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Tabith Awal started his campaign around 11am amid drizzles, and he carried it out till the afternoon by covering several areas in the capital, including Gulshan, Shahjadpur and Mohakhali.
The BNP leader exuded confidence as he said their party is getting more and more public support, and he is confident about victory in the polls.
He, however, reiterated his apprehension about a favourable polls environment and neutrality of Election Commission (EC).
“I have been going to people’s door to door amid rain and bad weather, and I have got a huge positive response. The voters have listened to me and gave assurances,” said Tabith at a rally in Shahjadpur.
“The way we are getting more and more support from the voters, victory of ‘sheaf of paddy’ [electoral symbol of BNP] cannot be resisted,” he added.
About the role of the EC, the BNP candidate said the commission knows what to do and what to deal with to ensure a free and fair election.
“So, the commission should ensure that all voters can cast their votes without fear,” he said.
He also said no attack or violence will be able to resist him from participating in the polls.
Meanwhile, at another rally of Tabith’s campaign in Noyatola, BNP standing committee member Moudud Ahmed said people have lost their confidence in the Awami League-led government.
He also said people want to see young leadership. “That’s why, they will vote for an honest and eligible candidate like Tabith.”
BNP councillor candidates in those areas and several other leaders of the party were also present during the campaign.
