Work towards reducing spiralling commodity price hike in own constituency and beyond to keep it within purchasing power of people by increasing production of domestic products and tackling syndication and other unethical business practices such as hoarding of goods. Restore unto the people a just society by re-establishing rule of law. Extortion will be tackled so that people may live their lives in peace while businesses may flourish without hindrance. Corruption will be stopped in its tracks through multi-pronged measures and specific actions will be taken to stop the taking of bribes by public officials. My long term vision for the country is to free it from poverty by working towards building a country where its citizens may live lives of dignity and prosperity with all citizens living in a society free of intolerance; where all Bangladeshis may be assured of social justice, environmental protection, human rights and equal opportunities and democratic institutions and values are instilled into all its people; where Bangladesh will have graduated to a middle income country with poverty reduced significantly, a workforce that is skilled and where development will have reached double digit growths annually.
