Soon after filing the nomination paper, Bidisha addressed a public meeting at Bamondanga Abdul Huq College ground to begin polls campaign.
"Ignoring threat from JP, I have decided to contest from this constituency just to work for welfare of people", she said.
"I have come here because people of Sunderganj love me.
"I can not forget people of Sunderganj. They remembered me when I was in jail in a false case filed by Ershad.
"Jatiya Party expelled me without bringing any allegation against me", said Bidisha.
She also criticised Ershad, saying he has no ideology and policy. Jatiya Party earlier extended support to BNP-led four-party alliance. Now they are with Awami League-led grand alliance. "Jatiya Party may split again at any time", Bidisha claimed.
She also criticised Ershad's wife Begum Rowsha Ershad for supporting the BNP-Jamaat government during its rule.
"She could not do anything for the people of Fulchari and Shaghata", Bidisha told in the meeting.
"If people of Sunderganj remain with me, I will win the coming election. Ershad's Jatiya Party is no factor for me", she said.
