“How do they (BNP and Jamaat alliance) want this? There was a caretaker government in the 2008 election and they got only 30 seats while the Awami League got 233 seats. They should remember this,'' she said.
The Prime Minister said it is a fact that whenever AL remains in power people get food, shelter and a better life.
He swore that no one would remain homeless, addressless and landless in the country of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. “We are working on it.”
He hit out hard at the BNP, claiming that “it does not like the work being done for the welfare of the people and the country.”
“They (BNP and its allies) do not like that the common people and poor people will live a better life,” he said.
Sheikh Hasina said that Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was born to change the fate of the common people in the country.
He said, “We will bring change following the ideals of the Father of the Nation.”
Sheikh Hasina reiterated her pledge to transform the country into a developed, prosperous and smart “Sonar Bangladesh” by 2041, free from hunger and poverty, as envisioned by the Father of the Nation.
“We are taking a pledge on the birthday of Bangabandhu to make Bangladesh a developed, prosperous and smart Sonar Bangladesh by 2041,” he said.
