Jatiya Party chairman HM Ershad called upon the party activists to take preparation so that his party can take part in next general election independently.
Ershad was exchanging views with party leaders of Sylhet division, led by Mohammad Atiqur Rahman Atik, JP presidium member and Sylhet divisional coordinator, at party's Banani office in Dhaka on Wednesday.
'Demand has been raised across the country that JP should contest the next poll unilaterally. We have to achieve organisational strength if we want to take part in the polls independently. Hence, activities of JP and its associate organisations should be geared up,' said Ershad, adding that people now want to see change.
Reminiscing about his rule, the former president said that there were development, prosperity, peace and security in the country during the tenure of his party. 'The countrymen still remember the period.'
The JP leader hoped that his party would be able to fulfil people's expectation if it returned to power.
Referring to the price of essentials, he said that price of essentials were within the purchasing capacity of people during his tenure while people have been fed up now due to price spiral. Hence, Ershad asserted, people again want to see JP in power.
