BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman has called for unity and collective effort to rebuild the country, urging people to stop talking and start working. He made the remarks on Monday at a public rally held at Basabo Tarun Sangha field in Dhaka in support of BNP candidate Habibur Rashid Habib for the Dhaka–9 constituency.

Rahman announced that if the BNP wins the election on February 12, development work in Dhaka–9 will begin the very next day. Planned initiatives include building a playground, establishing hospital facilities, improving roads, and addressing waterlogging. He also pledged to replace bamboo bridges in the area with permanent structures. Highlighting BNP’s past record, Rahman said former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia had established the Anti-Corruption Commission and allowed it to operate independently, giving the party experience in combating corruption.

He praised Khaleda Zia’s development-oriented leadership and asked why Bangladesh could not transform itself as other nations have done, calling on citizens to unite for national progress. The rally saw the presence of local leaders and a large number of supporters.
