"Boat: Durga Devi's carrier: Various political parties nominated candidates to contest the elections on 12 June 1996. Awami League also nominated. As almost sixty-five percent of the total voters in three constituencies in Gopalganj and two constituencies in Bagerhat are Hindus, naturally there is no possibility of any other marker candidate winning the election in these five constituencies except Awami League's boat mark candidate, and has never won and will never win. (1) Moksedpur and Kashiani, (2) Gopalganj and Kashiani (3) Tungipara and Kotalipara (4) Mollar Hat and Fakir Hat (5) Boitaghata and Dakop in these 5 (five) constituencies as long as sixty-five percent Hindu community remains, the Awami League candidate will continue to win exclusively in boat marks. Candidates for these five constituencies do not have to do any work in the area. In any case, if Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh Hasina takes Awami League's boat mark ticket, she will win 75% of the votes. These 5 asanas are called alms seats. Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh Hasina please begs the seat of this region, she is the people's representative or member of national parliament of this region i.e. MP. When asked why he voted for Awami League, an old Hindu man whose education is almost unknown in this region said, "We don't understand Awami League." I don't even vote for Awami League. We vote by boat. That is, I vote for the boat brand. When asked why he voted for the boat, he said, "I will not vote for the boat?" The boat is the vehicle of the goddess. Mother Durga Devi came down from heaven in this vehicle (boat) to subdue the Asuras (sinners). And if we don't vote for Maa Durga's vehicle boat, then the Goddess vehicle will be dishonored. Maa Durga will curse. Don't you see, during the voting time we all go and vote for the boat brand called Maa Durga, Maa Durga to please Maa Durga Devi. Not a single one is left out. Mother Durga will be displeased if everyone does not go and vote for the boat brand. We will have bad luck. So no matter how much work there is, no matter how much trouble there is, one can only go to the polling station. We will all go and vote for the boat brand."
