Awami League (AL) President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today sought vote for her party’s electoral symbol “boat” and said that this boat will give the people a developed and prosperous country.

“This boat has brought independence and given economic emancipation. This boat will give us a developed and prosperous country,” she said while addressing an election rally at Pirganj Government High School ground here this afternoon.

Questioning the people what is needed to continue development, Sheikh Hasina herself replied: “A vote for boat is needed.”

“So, this is my appeal to you as I am the daughter-in-law of your area,” she said, adding, “Ki Bahera Ekkhan Vot Mui Pamu Na? Hamak Ekkhan Vote Diba na? Hamake Ekkhan vote diba? (what’s brother? Don’t you give me a vote? Don’t vote for me? Give me a vote?)”

Pointing to her party candidate in this constituency, she said: “I offer Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury, who is like my daughter, to you. Voting for the boat means voting for me, voting for Joy…”

Bangabandhu’s younger daughter and Sheikh Hasina’s younger sister Sheikh Rehana was present on dais.বিস্তারিত
