Former state minister for education and BNP candidate for Chandpur-1 constituency, Dr. A N M Ehsanul Haque Milon, has accused a rival political party of deceiving the public by claiming that voting for them would guarantee entry to heaven. He made the remarks on Friday afternoon at the inauguration of his election campaign in Nayakandi village under Sacher Union of Kachua, Chandpur.

Milon said that if people could attain heaven simply by voting, they would abandon religious practices. Highlighting his previous tenure as state minister, he claimed to have made examinations free from cheating, stopped the killing of juvenile hilsa fish, and relocated the Chandpur launch terminal to reduce passenger suffering and accidents. He pledged that, if re-elected in the February 12 election, he would transform Kachua into the country's leading education hub.

The event was chaired by Kachua Upazila Jubo Dal president Md. Mohiuddin Majumdar and attended by local BNP and affiliated organization leaders, including members of the Bangladesh Olama Dal.
