BNP Vice Chairman Abdul Awal Mintu stated that the upcoming election on February 12 will determine Bangladesh’s future direction, whether toward economic prosperity or unrest. Speaking at an election rally for the Feni-03 constituency at Ataturk High School field in Daganbhuiyan on February 8, he said that if the BNP comes to power and Tarique Rahman becomes prime minister, the country will move toward development for all, regardless of political affiliation.

Mintu urged supporters to go to polling centers after Tahajjud and Fajr prayers, remain vigilant to protect voting rights, and prevent any manipulation. He pledged that if voters give BNP a chance by voting for the party’s symbol, the “sheaf of paddy,” he would dedicate the rest of his life to serving the people and ensuring progress in infrastructure, education, and healthcare.

The rally was chaired by Daganbhuiyan Upazila BNP convener Akbar Hossain and attended by several BNP leaders, including Shahena Akter Shanu, Abdul Latif Jony, Gazi Habibullah Manik, Noim Ullah Barat, and Salauddin Mamun.
