She hoped the people, who want development, peace and progress, will take the right decision in the 2007 general elections, as they did in 2001.

The prime minister made the call while addressing two public meetings at Kulaura in Moulvibazar and in Kishoreganj after inaugurating and laying foundation stones of different establishments under a number of development projects in the two districts yesterday.

Independent MP MM Shahin of Kulaura rejoined BNP at a public meeting at Kulaura NC High Scholl ground while former district judge Rezaul Karim Chunnu and retired engineer Golam Mohammad joined the party at a rally in Kishoreganj.

Khaleda, also the chairperson of the ruling BNP, said when her party carries out development, the opposition resorts to destructive politics.

"The opposition doesn't want country's development, peace and prosperity. Rather it is out to unleash terrorism and chaos," the prime minister told her audience.

She struck a note of optimism that the country will become self-reliant in all sectors in the next five years if the BNP-led alliance returns to power.

Chaired by M Naser Rahman MP, the rally at Kulaura was also addressed, among others, by Finance Minister M Saifur Rahman, Communications Minister Nazmul Huda, Prime Minister's Political Secretary Harris Chowdhury and State Minister for Youth and Sports Fazlur Rahman.

Earlier, the prime minister inaugurated a 50-bed upazila health complex, newly constructed Kulaura railway bhaban and upazila auditorium.

From Kulaura, the prime minister flew to Kishoreganj and inaugurated the newly constructed Kishoreganj stadium and laid the foundation of 250-bed Kishoreganj Hospital and Nursing Training Institute.
