JP to announce pre-polls programmes on Oct 06

Jatiya Party will hold a public rally at Suhrawardy Udyan on October 6 to announce its pre-election programmes, aiming to return to power to build 'New Bangladesh', reports UNB.

Jatiya Party Chairman HM Ershad came up with the announcement while speaking at Jatiya Party's joint meeting on the premises of the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh.

"We'll hold the rally with lakhs of people (on Oct 6). We've gained enough strength and we're ready to go to power. We no longer want to remain as an opposition party, we want to stand on our own feet," he said.

Ershad, a former military ruler, asked his party leaders and activists to make their party stronger further by its new committees in their respective areas ahead of the election.
