She said Awami League has remarkably changed the country with its more than one decade’s of rule.

She also said the government has been able to keep the wheel of the country’s economy moving during the Covid-19 pandemic by providing various stimulus packages.

The Prime Minister said Bangladesh’s GDP growth rate is now 6.94 percent, while the per capita income has risen to 2,591 US dollars.  “Bangladesh has already been recognised as a developing country.”

Hasina said the living standard of people has improved a lot and cent percent families across the country have been brought under electricity coverage.
