Selim Reza with Tanvir Ahammed, Sirajganj :
In the forthcoming 11th parliamentary election, the potential candidates of various parties have already started campaign and trying to get nomination from their respective parties including Awami League and BNP in electoral seat of Sirajganj-2.
This constituency consists of one municipality and six unions of Sadar Upazila including Kamarkhanda upazila. From the political point of view this constituency has much importance.
Here the main competition will be between BNP and AL; Jamaat is also in the battle field of election. Candidates of Jatiya Party, CPB, Jashad, Bashad are also dynamic in election campaign. Despite the internal conflict between two major parties, BNP has recently tried to overcome it through conference with grassroots leaders and activists but there is a dispute in AL till now. However, the current MP of Sirajganj-2 tried to tackle internal conflicts though extensive development activities but there is no alternative to resolving dispute for crossing election brim.
After the change of 90’s plot, BNP’s candidate late Mirza Moradduzam won at first election from this constituency in 1991. Later on BNP’s chairperson Khaleda Zia, who won from this electoral seat in the controversial poll of 1996.Then AL’s presidium member Nasim emerged as victorious in the election that held after four month later. In 2001, BNP’s Iqbal Hasan Tuku was elected as MP for this constituency. Because of legal difficulties, he could not take part in the vote of 2008 but his wife, Rumana Mahmud, Senior Vice-president of district BNP won the election from Sirajganj-2. At that time AL candidate Jannat Ara Henry was defeated by about 2000 vote. After then, Habib-E-Millat , Acting General Secretary of District AL, won the controversial vote in 2014. Millat, is only the strong candidate of AL from this electoral seat in upcoming election.
Meanwhile, the division in BNP began with the vote of 2001. After the formation district committee in 2008, this division became more vigorous. Although the party has been trying to overcome the disunion by announcing a new committee recently but several veteran leaders were kept outside from the new committee. Due to this there prevails a substandard state among the leaders and activists who are deprived. The joining of numerous leaders and activists of BNP in AL is only the echoes of this outrage. But the leader from high command says, there is no division in BNP. People are united to protect the country from the oppressed government. If there is a fair election, BNP’s victory is must.
Noor-E Alam Helal, former organizing secretary of district BNP and elected mayor as twice is excepting to get nomination from here. In addition to the present MP, Jannat Ara Henry, General Secretary of central women’s AL is also in the list to get nomination. In 2011, the PM Hasina gave Millat the responsibility of the coordinator of district development implementation committee. With that procedure, his debut transpires in the local AL. After, becoming MP in 2014 without being competing, he betrothed himself in various development activities of his polling area. With merit, skill, honesty and competence; he took the place in the heart of general mass indeed. He placed the sings of development in various field in this constituency, among them reopened of Quoyomi Jute Mills, which was closed during coalition government, changing of the course of Jamuna river through capital dredging project including establishment of National Heart Foundation at Sirajganj are mostly mentionable. He has also made an extensive development in communication sector. After the death of the general secretary of the district unit AL, he gets the responsibility of acting general secretary. Now he has been massively engaged in mass contact due to upcoming election. Party members in different level say, Millat is the dreamer of modern Sirajganj. Nobody could do so much development in Sirajganj after independence. So, there is no alternative to Millat in this constituency.
