BNP leader Ruhul Quddus Talukder Dulu said student union election results at one or two universities will have no bearing on the upcoming national election.
“Thousands of student votes cannot compare to the will of millions in rural Bangladesh. The people are eagerly waiting to vote for BNP’s paddy-sheaf symbol under Tarique Rahman’s leadership,” he said.
Dulu added that BNP leaders and activists have faced the harshest repression, arrests, enforced disappearances, and killings over the past 17 years, but people have not forgotten the injustices under Awami League rule.
He expressed confidence that BNP would return to power with a sweeping victory.
