BNP candidate GK Gaus declared that a nationwide wave of support has formed for the party’s electoral symbol, the 'Sheaf of Paddy'. He made the statement on Saturday at a roadside rally in Kadamtali Bazar, Shayestaganj upazila, within the Habiganj-3 constituency. Gaus said that after 17 years of what he described as the Awami League’s suppression of democratic rights, the people are now ready to vote for their preferred candidates.

He emphasized that the 'Sheaf of Paddy' represents development, democracy, prosperity, Islamic values, communal harmony, peace, and public trust. Gaus urged citizens to vote for this symbol in the upcoming election. The event was presided over by ward BNP president Dudon Mia and conducted by upazila Jubo Dal convener Mizanur Rahman Sumon. Other local BNP leaders, including former upazila BNP president and union parishad chairman Golam Kibria Chowdhury Belal, acting president Fazlul Karim, and vice presidents Abdul Hai and Abdus Shahid, also spoke at the gathering.

The rally reflected BNP’s efforts to mobilize grassroots support in Habiganj-3 ahead of the election.
