Prime Minister Khaleda Zia yesterday said people had given mandate to the BNP-led four-party alliance to govern the country for five years and the coalition would run its full term.

She said people will not bring those back to power who don't believe in democracy and don't go to parliament.

Khaleda, the BNP chairperson, called upon people to go ahead with politics of development and production rejecting the forces of chaos and unrest forever.

"They (AL) don't believe in peace and democracy. They indulge in politics of destruction, arson and vandalism," she told a big public meeting at Chandina Redwan Ahmed Degree College ground in Comilla.

politics on the streets instead of attending parliament, she cautioned that they would not be able to retain the present position in opposition.

People will again vote BNP and its allies to power for development works across the country, she hoped.

Theleader of the four-party alliance said there is no alternative to BNP and four-party alliance government for development and progress of the country.

Chaired by Comilla (north) BNP president Redwan Ahmed MP, the rally was addressed by Health Minister Dr Khondokar Mosharraf Hossain, Agriculture Minister MK Anwar, BNP leader Begum Rabeya Chowdhury, Manjurul Ahsan Munshi MP and Kazi Shah Mofazzel Hossain Kaikobad MP.

Earlier, the prime minister laid the foundation of 500-seat Chandina upazila auditorium and distributed black Bengal goats to a number of destitute women.

Listing her government's various development works and projects, the prime minister said her political opponents have gone mad seeing the present wave of development. "So,

they are unleashing terrorism on the streets instead of returning to parliament. This vandalism is unlikely to yield any thing good," she observed.

She said when her government is leading the country towards progress with development programmes, the opposition is out to create instability by enforcing hartals, resorting to terrorism, killings and destroying public property.

The BNP chief said people voted BNP to power again and again taking into account their development works and rejected Awami League being dismayed by their vandalism, corruption, famine, misrule and misdeeds.

Responding to the demands of local MP, she informed the local people about various ongoing development works and assured that a full-fledged university would be set up in Comilla.

The prime minister also promised to expand rural electrification at Chandina and set up a 20-bed hospital at Mohichaila.

She later inaugurated the newly constructed building of Redwan Ahmed Degree College.
