“If BNP forms the government, it will not be a party government, but the government of the people. It will be a government for those who voted for us and for those who didn’t. Everyone must work together and we will not work for any one specific individual. This is the main goal and objective.”

Unlike the other political parties, the BNP has already made clear and practical plans for the country’s development.

“We are not giving false promises. We are making plans, and we want to implement them. The other parties haven’t provided any plans yet. But in a few days, they will come up with something and say, ‘We have plans too’.”

The BNP’s plans are based on reality and have been in the works for long.

“Many will speak unrealistic things for cheap popularity,” he said, adding that the party is only proposing what it can deliver.

Criticising the past government, he said: “The autocratic government has destroyed the economy, education system and everything in the country for the past 15 years. They have left the country in a war-torn state, and we must work hard to fix all of this.”
