Awami League President Sheikh Hasina has urged people to look kindly on any mistake made by her government in the past decade, saying that if re-elected, the Awami League would bring 'development and prosperity'.
Hasina, who has been the prime minister for the past two terms, announced the party manifesto at a program at Dhaka's Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel at 10:00am on Tuesday, reports bdnews24.com.
The 80-page document titled 'Bangladesh on Path to Progress and Prosperity' presents the party's positions on key issues, its achievements in the past 10 years and its plans for the future.
The Awami League has made 21 special promises in its election manifesto beginning with providing modern civic amenities to all villages, turning the young people into a skilled labour force and ensuring employment. "To err is human. My colleagues and I may have made mistakes. I ask for forgiveness from all of you if we have done so," said Hasina as she read out the manifesto.
"I promise we'll incorporate the things we have learned from the past into our future endeavors. We'll establish a golden Bangladesh free of hunger, poverty, illiteracy, as dreamed by the Father of the Nation," the Awami League chief said to the voters.
Hasina said her party would ensure 'sustainable investment and inclusive development' if elected for the third successive term. The Awami League believes in 'work and not words,' she said. "It will be terrible if anti-liberation forces regain power."
