In her manifesto, Dalia said one-way roads will be built on the raised sides

unemployment of male and female youths of the city," she said.

establish more cottage industries for women. 
 
"I was born in Rangpur city and will die in Rangpur where brothers and 
sisters whom I address the way everyone knows me very well. I believe Rangpur 
people will not make mistakes anymore," she said.
 
"I believe that Rangpur people will vote for 'Boat' in the RpCC Election-2022
