"I have no complaints against anyone, but I reckon those who opposed the Padma Bridge construction plan and called it a 'pipe dream', lack self-confidence. I hope this bridge will boost their confidence," PM remarked. 

"This bridge is not just bricks, cement, iron, and concrete… This bridge is our pride, a symbol of our capacity, our strength, our dignity. This bridge belongs to the people of Bangladesh."

"People on the south of Padma river have been neglected, but they won't be neglected anymore," she said. A section of Metro Rail in Dhaka and the tunnel under Karnaphuli river in Chattogram will be opened within this year, PM said.
