Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said the nation will prosper if the ruling party maintains power and works sincerely, reports bdnews24.com.
She made the remark before inaugurating the Sheikh Hasina Dharla Bridge over the Dharla river at Kurigram's Phulbari Upazila.
"We formed the government in 2009 and ran the country for five years. The country's economy has improved because we have continued governing for another four years after winning election again in 2014."
"We have proved that a country can be enriched if the government has continuity and sincerity."
Hasina inaugurated the bridge through a video conference from the Ganabhaban early on Sunday.
She also urged everyone to fulfil their duties and responsibilities sincerely.
The Prime Minister had promised to build the bridge in 2011. The foundation of the 950-metre long bridge costing more than Tk 2.0 billion was built in 2012.
"I hope the people of Kurigram, Lalmonirhat and Rangpur will receive the bridge as an Eid gift from me," said Hasina.
"The connectivity of this area will be developed due to the bridge. It will extend the scope of business and make lives easier. The government is working for the further development of northern Bangladesh."
"Once upon a time, Monga was a serious problem in the north, but it has been resolved. At present, the land can be cultivated twice in one year. Food and vegetable production has also increased."
