People's verdict to reinstate AL in power, hopes Tofail

BHOLA, Jan 20 (BSS): Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed on Saturday expressed his optimism that the people would once again vote Awami League (AL) to power as the present government carried out massive development for their welfare.

"People are now happy with the development activities by the present government and I hope they will vote for Awami League again in the next national election," said the member of AL's advisory council while talking to reporters after visiting the newly inaugurated 'Swadhinata Museum' here.

He criticised BNP for making irrational comments about political issues. Mentioning BNP secretary general's recent comment that BNP would get 80 per cent vote in the next national elections, Tofail said if the party gets 80 per cent vote, it should join the election happily.

Deputy Commissioner Md Selim Uddin, district AL General Secretary and Zilla Parishad Chairman Abdul Momin Tulu, Police Super Md Moktar Hossain and sadar upazila parishad chairman Md Mosharraf Hossain, among others, were present on the

occasion.
