BNP candidate Professor Aslam Chowdhury, contesting from Chattogram-4 (Sitakunda), said that if his party comes to power, Bangladesh will achieve food self-sufficiency and revive the local economy. He made the remarks on Saturday while campaigning in Syedpur and Baraidala unions of Sitakunda upazila. Chowdhury emphasized that unplanned canal filling and encroachment on natural reservoirs have worsened waterlogging, damaged agriculture, and caused environmental degradation in the area.
He stated that the drainage crisis in Sitakunda and other regions has become a national challenge. According to him, planned canal re-excavation and integrated water management could make Sitakunda a model area for the country. He warned that without urgent canal restoration, both agriculture and industry would fail to reach their full potential.
Chowdhury also highlighted the importance of initiatives such as cold storage facilities, affordable fertilizer and seed distribution, and modern farming methods. He said implementing the proposed “Krishi Card” program could bring a new revolution in agriculture, ensuring food self-sufficiency and economic growth. He pledged that a BNP government would prioritize these farmer-friendly programs.
