Joy won't contest JS election

He said this while addressing a meeting to exchange opinion with the elite in Pirganj.

He said that he would help his mother in the election campaign in favour of the 14-party Alliance candidates throughout the country, specially in Rangpur.

Criticising the coalition government, Joy said that Rangpur had been kept out of the development programmes unlike Bogra and Rajshahi.

Joy promised that Rangpur would be made a division comprising eight northern districts while a university would be set up and gas will be supplied there through pipe line, if the 14-party Alliance is voted to power.

Pirganj upazila Awami League organised the meeting with Roushanara Wahed in the chair.

Earlier, he offered prayer at his grandfather's grave at Fatepur in Pirganj upazila. Later, he addressed a press conference at his ancestral home.

While talking to newsmen, he said that the BNP-Jamaat led alliance government is the mastermind of militancy across the country.
