BNP leader and Noakhali-5 constituency candidate Md. Fakhrul Islam has pledged that if Tarique Rahman becomes the Prime Minister, the river erosion–affected Noakhali district will be transformed into a modern city like Singapore. Speaking at a large election rally in Kabirhat on Saturday, November 15, Fakhrul urged voters to cast their ballots for the BNP’s 'sheaf of paddy' symbol, emphasizing that their support would ensure Tarique Rahman’s leadership. He also promised to create a terror-free, extortion-free, and drug-free environment in the constituency, assuring that jobs would be given based on merit rather than nepotism. Fakhrul further stated that he would remain accessible to the public without favoritism. The rally was chaired by former Kabirhat BNP convener Kamrul Huda Chowdhury Liton and attended by several district BNP leaders, including Mahbub Alamgir Alo, ABM Zakaria, Harunur Rashid Azad, and Mostafizur Rahman Monju.
