Former Secretary General of BNP Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan yesterday submitted nomination paper for contesting the forthcoming parliamentary polls on December from Shivpur constituency in Narsingdi.
After submitting nomination paper Mannan Bhuiyan said, "I decided to run for the polls independently because I want to be with the people of my own locality," he said adding that he has always been with the people of his constituency.
On running for the first time without the sheaf of paddy symbol he said, "I have always worked for the welfare of my own people ". He said that he trusts the people of his locality wholeheartedly.
"The people here have always voted me to parliament to voice their rights," he mentioned adding that the people of Shivpur will give their right answer in the elections.
Reluctant to comment on not receiving a BNP ticket this time, the 'pro-reform' Bhuiyan said, "The people of Shivpur will answer that question".
The nation wants polls and stability will be achieved if the elections are held, he commented.
"Creating any more confusion over the polls would not be wise. We have to take the nation forward through elections,"said Bhuiyan, expressing the hope that they would be held as scheduled on December 29.
