Tangail-5 (Sadar Upazila) is one of the constituencies in the Dhaka division closest to the capital. This constituency consists of one municipality and 12 unions. The previous fascist dictatorship, Sheikh Hasina's Awami League, held power for 15 and a half years. After Hasina's fall in the mass uprising of students and the public on August 5, 2024, the political landscape in this constituency has changed dramatically. As a result, BNP wants to reclaim this important constituency.
It is known that in the last national election, BNP's publicity secretary Sultan Salahuddin Tuku participated in the election from the Tangail-2 (Bhuiyanpur-Gopalpur) constituency. His elder brother, former Deputy Minister of Education Advocate Abdul Salam Pintu, will not contest from this constituency in the upcoming 13th national election as he has been released from prison. This time, he will contest from the Tangail-5 (Sadar Upazila) constituency. To that end, he has been vigorously campaigning and doing mass outreach since the fall of the government.
In addition, on his behalf, former Tangail District BNP member secretary Mahmudul Haque Chanu, former organizing secretary Shafiqur Rahman Khan Shafiq, district women's party president Momtaz and district youth party convener Khandaker Rashedul Islam Rashed, along with various leaders and activists at the district and upazila levels, are spending their time busy from morning to midnight in mass outreach.
The local leaders said, Sultan Salauddin Tuku is an honest, selfless and fallen Sheikh Hasina government, who has been working for the country's leader Begum Khaleda and acting chairman Tarique Rahman since his student days, despite the imprisonment, oppression and various harassment. He grew up in Tangail and started Chhatra Dal politics. He has mixed with every person in Tangail Sadar. That is why people want Tuku in this seat.
Because he is an honest, idealistic person. He is helping the helpless poor of the area financially, in mosques-madrasas, temples and other activities. Before being elected as an MP, he is renovating the roads and ghats of the area. Which other MP candidates did not do. Therefore, if the party nominates Sultan Salauddin Tuku with the paddy symbol from this Tangail Sadar constituency, they expect him to win a huge number of votes from the people.
As promised by the Chief Advisor Dr. Mohammad Yunus, the National Parliament elections are scheduled to be held in the first week of February next year. Many people want to get BNP's nomination for the Tangail-5 Sadar constituency in the elections. However, Sultan Salauddin Tuku has come as a blessing to the people of Tangail Sadar.
Sultan Salahuddin, the central BNP's publicity secretary, former general secretary and president of the central Jubo Dal, and former president and general secretary of the central Chhatra Dal, is a hardworking and dedicated leader, trusted by Tuku Zia's family.
Talking to people from different walks of life in Tangail Sadar, it was learned that as the election time approaches, voters have started to trust Tuku.
Many voters are of the opinion that since Salauddin Tuku is the central BNP publicity secretary and holds an important position in the party, there is every possibility of him getting a place in the cabinet. And if there is an influential minister in Tangail, the district will see incredible development. The other candidates who are there have no chance of getting a ministerial post. The general public in Sadar, especially the voters, have started these calculations.
Salauddin Tuku has emerged as a trusted person among the younger generation. He has been able to show the young society the dream that it is possible to establish oneself as a good person in the society through sports and cultural practices. Keeping this goal in mind, Sultan Salauddin Tuku has already undertaken a comprehensive agenda.
Meanwhile, a cultural program was organized on the occasion of the football game with a gathering of several lakhs of people at the Tangail Stadium. The famous band star of Bangladesh, James, thrilled the young generation with his extraordinary performance. Apart from ordinary people, lakhs of young people enjoyed this program.
Then, a cultural program was organized on the occasion of the football game at the city's Shaheed Smriti Municipal Park. Thousands of young people were enthralled by the enchanting music of famous artists of the country. At the same time, the young generation chanted slogans like "Sultan Salauddin, move forward, we are by your side."
In addition, the program of distributing fruit and forest saplings among students, teachers and officials in every educational institution of Sadar Upazila has received a great response from the people. The people of Sadar are widely praising this program of his for creating a green world. Sultan Salauddin Tuku has appeared before the people of Sadar with many such programs. He is gradually establishing himself among the common people through exceptional programs.
Meanwhile, other nomination hopefuls have started various propaganda against Sultan Salahuddin Tuku, an honest, hardworking and selfless leader who is a trusted member of the Zia family. Tuku's supporters have made such allegations. However, they believe that no matter how much propaganda, Sultan Salahuddin Tuku will be the leader of the Tangail-5 Sadar constituency.
When asked about this, Sultan Salauddin Tuku told this reporter, "If I get elected, I want to set an example by becoming a model for the development of Tangail Sadar."
He said, "The people of Sadar have taken me into their confidence. If the people place their trust in me, I will definitely repay it through development, God willing."
