---

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia beginning election campaign in Dhaka city from Mohammadpur (Dhaka-13) Saturday pledged to resolve water and power crises and create employment opportunities, if voted to power, reports UNB.
She introduced the party candidate of the constituency, Syed Moazzem Hossain Alal, general secretary of BNP's youth front Jubo Dal, to the voters amid cheers.
Alal faces formidable opponent Jahangir Kabir Nanak, president of Awami League's youth front Jubo League, in the December 29 polls. Both of them come from Barisal.
Khaleda told the projection meeting in front of Mohammadpur Town Hall in the evening that reduction of prices of essentials was the main objective of her party. She said people suffered most from high prices of food grains and other essentials during the last two years.
There had been no development during the last two years under the caretaker government. Rather, progress of development undertaken by BNP government has been halted, she added.
