BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman on Saturday said the upcoming national election is not merely about electing public representatives but about restoring people’s rights and rebuilding Bangladesh. On farmers’ issues, Tarique said the previous authoritarian government had failed to provide necessary economic support to farmers. Tarique also promised that if BNP wins the election, agricultural loans of up to Tk10,000 would be waived. He also promised that the local airport would be made operational as soon as possible if the BNP forms the government. Tarique said people of all religions would live in peace, and everyone would be judged based on merit and competence, not religion.
