Withdraw AL candidates from Gaibandha-4, 5
Jatiya Party sacrificed a lot to remain in the grand alliance but Awami League 'betrayed' JP in eleven out of 49 constituencies by fielding candidates violating electoral understanding, JP chairman H M Ershad has said.
Addressing a public meeting at Gobindaganj High School ground Monday evening, Ershad claimed that the grand alliance will have a landslide victory in the upcoming national election.
People have already expressed their spontaneous support to the grand alliance, which is proved by their massive participation in its meetings, he said. The meeting was organised by local Jatiya Party.
Ershad called Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina as his younger sister and urged her to withdraw AL candidates from Gaibandha-4 (Gobindaganj) and Gaibandha-5 (Shaghata-Fulchari) constituencies as the seats are vote banks of JP.
“If they do not comply with the request, JP will prove it by defeating AL candidates there”, Ershad said.
The JP chief said past governments did not take steps to reduce price hike of essentials. If voted, the first task of the grand alliance government will be to reduce the price level to keep it within the purchasing power of poor people, he said.
Ershad introduced JP candidate Ali Mahbub Talukder at the meeting and called upon the people to vote for 'plough' symbol in the election to change their fate.
He claimed that the Jatiya Party government had initiated a process of development in Gaibandha, which was faltered during the BNP-Jamaat rule. The development process will begin again if the alliance is voted, he said.
On way to Rangpur after the meeting, Ershad addressed another public meeting at Palashbari.
He told the meeting that if the grand alliance is voted, an administrative division will be created comprising districts under greater Rangpur and the country will be divided into seven provinces.
At Polashbari, Ershad introduced grand alliance candidate JP leader TIM Fazley Rabbi Chowdhury and urged people to vote for him.
The forer president told the meeting that the up oming election will decide their fate and so they should cast their vote judiciously.
