Tabith seeks votes at Korail slums

bdnews24.com :
BNP-backed Dhaka North Mayoral candidate Tabith Awal has begun his campaign seeking vote in the capital’s Korail slum area.
Tabith, son of businessman Abdul Awal Mintoo, went to the Korail slums on Saturday.
He told the reporters, “I am getting good response in the campaign. I am in the fray with the support of
Khaleda Zia. She has appointed me to campaign for the youths.”
Tabith was optimistic that the voters of the North Dhaka City Corporation would support him for building a ‘modern Dhaka’, which he promised to the electorates.
With the promise to make Dhaka a clean and modern city, Tabith said, “I will soon release the election manifesto.”
Tabith talked to the residents of the slums and also addressed an election rally there.
BNP leaders are contesting under the banner of nascent ‘Adarsha Dhaka Andolan’ (ideal Dhaka movement).
For Dhaka South the party has backed Mirza Abbas for the mayoral race.
Tabith Awal was selected to fight for the Dhaka North city Corporation polls after the candidacy of his father, BNP Chairperson’s Adviser, Abdul Awal Mintoo, was rejected.
Tabith’s main rival is FBCCI’s former president Annisul Huq, who is contesting with the support of Awami League.
