In the statement, this top leader of Awami League said, "People of the country have not forgotten that in 2006, in the research and investigation of the US-based National Democratic Institute (NDI), BNP committed fraud of 12 million fake voters. BNP has captured state power every time through murder-murder-conspiracy and bloodshed. Behind the demands of the caretaker government, BNP is plotting to seize power again through murder-murder-conspiracy and terror.
The bridge minister also said that only Sheikh Hasina has handed over power constitutionally and properly in independent Bangladesh. Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh Hasina has struggled to end the country's long autocracy and established democracy, voting rights and the rule of law. As a result, the people of the country called Sheikh Hasina the ideal daughter of democracy.
Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader also said that the upcoming 12th National Assembly elections will be held in accordance with the constitution and democracy of the independent country. Awami League will not change its course due to the will of foreign evil power or any evil power.

He is ready to make any sacrifice for the rule of law and the safety of the people of the country.
Awami League general secretary Setu Minister said, "The political party founded by Ziaur Rahman unconstitutionally seized power. BNP is a political party that opposes all activities including the country's independence, democracy, constitution and elections. Ziaur Rahman, who seized power at gunpoint in an independent country, has undermined Bangladesh's electoral system.
He also said, "When Khaleda Zia was in power, Sadek Ali and Aziz Marka formed the Election Commission with BNP subordinates. Where the Election Commission appointed the identified people of the Chhatra Dal as officers. That transformed the Election Commission into its own party institution."
