State Minister Tuku's exceptional arrangement for election agents

On Friday (November 13) at 11 am, the view-exchange meeting was held at Tangail Municipal Garden, organized by Sadar Upazila BNP. Polling agents who had performed duties on behalf of the paddy sheaf at various centers of Tangail-5 constituency in the national parliamentary election participated in it. After the meeting, the state minister joined a luncheon with them.

Expressing gratitude to the polling agents at the view-exchange meeting, Sultan Salauddin Tuku said, ‘Those on whom I placed all responsibility and trusted on election day—you are the ones. You performed your duties with the highest fidelity from morning until the announcement of election results. Therefore, I express my gratitude to you.’

He said, ‘I thought, those who performed duties for me on election day—it cannot be that I would not meet them, not see them, not exchange views with them. Therefore, I took the initiative and arranged this event.’

Praising the role of polling agents, the state minister said, ‘The way you worked for me, asked people for votes, made various promises, and people trusted your words and elected me by voting. I will fulfill that expectation of the people, Insha'Allah. I have already recorded your phone numbers. There will be direct communication with you; I will talk. You are the main life of BNP.’

Emphasizing party unity, he said, ‘We must keep the party intact through everyone's collective efforts. Through the party, we will preserve independence and democracy, Insha'Allah. For this, we must work unitedly. I will work with the utmost sincerity. I will try to ensure the highest development in Tangail, so that in terms of development Tangail remains number one in the country in the next five years.’

At that time, he sought prayers from everyone for Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman, former Prime Minister late Begum Khaleda Zia, and Prime Minister Tarek Rahman.

Earlier, polling agents from various centers of Tangail-5 constituency one by one shared their experiences, opinions, and suggestions. The state minister listened to their statements. Party leaders and activists see this arrangement to honor those who worked at the field level for his victory in the election as a positive initiative. According to them, this initiative to maintain contact with polling agents even after the election and to listen to their opinions is an example of valuing grassroots leaders and activists.
