Abu Kalam, Rajshahi

Four-party alliance candidate in Rajshahi-2 constituency Mizanur Rahman Minu again pledged yesterday that if elected, he will ensure pipeline gas supply in Rajshahi. Ex-MP Minu, also a formed Rajshahi City Corporation mayor, told a press conference that he will take long term projects for more development of Rajshahi. He read a written statement at the press conference held at the BNP office in the city. He also claimed that many development projects were implemented during BNP-Jamaat government. He listed the development projects as the city bypass road, new city corporation building, modern rail station, judge court building, modern drainage project and Zia Children Park. Minu alleged that his rival candidates are making false propaganda against him and the alliance government. “Four-party will get most of the seats if the election is free and fair”, Minu said. He also hoped that the alliance will bag all the six seats in Rajshahi. People of Rajshahi will again vote to four-party as they want continuation of development of Rajshahi. Minu also declared his campaign and mass contact schedule at the press conference. Central BNP leader Rafiqul Islam Dulal, Rajshahi district BNP organising secretary Alauddin Ahmed and some other paty leaders were present but no Jamaat man was seen. Hearing Minu's election pledges, many voters told this correspondent that he pledged several times earlier to supply gas but did not fulfill his promise.
