People wait for political govt
Ershad tells Rangpur meet
Jatiya Party (JP) Chairman HM Ershad yesterday said the country may go back to pre-1/11 situation if identified dishonest and corrupt leaders are not punished.
People are eagerly waiting for general election to have a political government in the country, he said at a view exchange meeting with the people at Bhurarghat under Sadyapushkurni union in Rangpur Sadar upazila.
Expressing hope that JP would be a part of Awami League-led grand alliance and form the next government, he called upon people not to elect dishonest and corrupt political leaders in the upazila and general elections.
He said they would bring gas to Rangpur through pipeline if voted to power.
“There is no alternative to industrialisation for poverty alleviation in the northern region. For this we need gas here,” he said.
He criticised the immediate past BNP-led alliance government for keeping Rangpur and its adjoining districts out of gas supply that had reached Bogra.
“JP's central committee selected candidates for elections in the past but this time I have advised the party's grassroots leaders to select candidates for upazila and general elections,” Ershad said.
