BNP leader pledges in West Bakolia courtyard meeting, local development, drainage reform and unemployment elimination as priorities. Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Central Committee member Alhaj Md. Shamsul Alam said, \u201cBNP is determined to alleviate the problems and hardships of the people. The people of the country have heard many stories of development, this time they want real development.\u201d
\nHe said this in his speech as the chief guest at a courtyard meeting organized at West Bakolia of Chittagong Metropolitan City on Wednesday (October 8) afternoon.
\nShamsul Alam said, \u201cFor the past 17 years, people have heard big stories of development, but in reality, walking on the streets of this Baklia is a burden, there is no drainage system, and there is no fair opportunity. There is no alternative to democratic change to alleviate this suffering of the people.\u201d
\nHe further said that if BNP forms the government, it will prioritize local development, road and drainage system renovation, waterlogging, unemployment and drug problems.
\nThe meeting also discussed in detail the 31-point national reconstruction program announced by BNP acting chairman Tarek Rahman.
