Addressing the gathering, Tarique Rahman outlined BNP’s development plans for the Rajshahi region if the party comes to power. Referring to previous elections, Tarique alleged that the country had experienced “night-time elections” and “voterless elections” over the past 16 years, which, he said, deprived people of their voting rights. Following the Rajshahi rally, Tarique Rahman travelled by road to Naogaon, where leaders and activists welcomed him at the ATM field in the afternoon. Tarique Rahman last visited Rajshahi in 2004.
