Lakshmipur: Some elected representatives are prioritizing their personal business over public service, damaging the image of politicians in society, BNP Joint-Secretary General and Lakshmipur District BNP President Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Anee stated today.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the BNP leader made these remarks at a reception event for students who achieved GPA-5 in their exams, organized by Lakshmipur Society and Alpha Star Foundation at the local town hall auditorium.
