Mohiuddin Chy not impressed

Awami League leader ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury, who failed to get party support for the April 28 mayoral run, expressed his dissatisfaction with the manifesto of party favourite AJM Nasir Uddin right at its unveiling ceremony yesterday.
In his welcome address, he said, "I have contested for several times and I have experiences. If my cooperation was sought during its drafting, it could be a far better manifesto."
Mohiuddin, a three-time mayor and president of the city AL, suggested some corrections and told the audience, "Please cast your vote, if the manifesto pleases you."
The blatant remarks embarrassed party leaders who were present at the unveiling ceremony at the Institute of Engineers, Bangladesh, Chittagong. 
On condition of anonymity, some leaders told The Daily Star that maybe Mohiuddin was still aggrieved but he should not have expressed himself that way before the public.
Mohiuddin has already visited a few places campaigning for Nasir and said all of AL would work together for the party candidate.
In reply to a query about Mohiuddin's not taking part in campaigns along with Nasir, Mohiuddin promptly said, "It is actually a strategy. We don't need to go on a campaign together. Rather I should cover areas which Nasir may miss."
AL presidium member Abul Hasnat Abdullah, central publicity secretary Hasan Mahmud, organising secretary Ahmed Hossain, and member Aminul Islam, were present at the press conference.
Noim Uddin Chowdhury, vice president of the city AL, said actually Mohiuddin found some points missing in the printed copy of the manifesto and later those were added.
"Mohiuddin supports Nasir. Even though he is ill, he is participating in the campaign along with several central party leaders," he added.
