Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today (Jan 30) called upon the nationals to take into consideration Bangladesh's massive development in the last 14 years.
She said: "I hope the people of Bangladesh are observing the massive developments in the last 14 years which has only been possible for remaining Awami League (AL) in power."
The prime minister made the remarks while inaugurating 11 development schemes at a function at Ramna Batamul in city, joining virtually from her official Ganabhaban residence in the capital.
The development schemes were accomplished by Public Works (PW), National Housing Authority (NHA) and Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (RAJUK) under the Ministry of Housing and Public Works.
