Awami League (AL) President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said that politics of Awami League is just for the welfare of people, but BNP-Jamaat's politics is to burn people.

"Their (BNP-Jamaat's) politics is to burn people. Do the people want them? Tell me. No, people don't want them," she said while addressing an election rally at the historic Bangabandhu Udyan in the divisional headquarters.

The AL chief condemned severely the acts of BNP-Jamaat for killing and burning people, and said: "When we develop the country for the people, at that time BNP- Jamaat unleashed arson attacks."
 
She reiterate her call to the country's people, especially the new voters, to vote for her party to continue the unstoppable progress of Bangladesh, saying the new voters certainly don't want their votes to go in vein.

"Awami League believes in the power of the youths. Those who are new voters and will exercise their franchise for the first time, I would request them to cast their votes for boat (election symbol) to ensure the victory of Awami League," she added.

Sheikh Hasina said that BNP-Jamaat has no right to do politics in Bangladesh as they burn people and kill people while people do not want this kind of destructive activities anymore.

"BNP is a terrorist party, this terrorist party has no right to do politics in Bangladesh, because they burn people, kill people," she added.

Bangabandhu's younger daughter and Sheikh Hasina's younger sister Sheikh Rehana was present on dais like the formal election campaign rally that began on December 20 from Sylhet, and other election rally at Taraganj, Mithapukur and Pirganj upazila in Rangpur districts on December 26.
