BNP leader Tarique Rahman has assured the people of Bangladesh that if their government comes to power, corruption will be eradicated.

New Delhi: With the Bangladesh general election inching closer, political parties are keeping no stones unturned to woo the voters. BNP leader Tarique Rahman has also intensified his election campaigning and making a slew of promises to the voters. The Bangladesh election is scheduled for February 12. In his election promise, Rahman said that if the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) comes to power, its two key priorities will be tackling corruption and improving law and order.

It is important to note that the statement of Rehman comes at a time when the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus is facing criticism over the law-and-order situation. With Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League not been allowed to participate in these elections, the BNP has emerged as the strongest political force in Bangladesh at present.

BNP chairman Tarique Rahman is being seen as the leading contender for the country’s next prime minister. In this context, his indication of taking a tough stance against rioters is considered significant.
