The minister made the remarks after inaugurating the Satkhira Sadar upazila Muktijoddha Complex at around 10am on Sunday (25 September).
"There was a time when Satkhira was denied any development for being a 'Jamaat-Shibir' dominated area. However, the district has already seen many developments.
"There is no end to development. The next election is still a year away. Before this, the remaining works will be completed," he said.
Speaking about the upcoming national polls, he said, "We (ruling party) have nothing to worry about. Elections are a democratic process and it comes every five years.
"We are hopeful that Awami League (AL) will be victorious again."
