If Awami League wins the next general election, one crore jobs will be generated in the country in next five years, said the party`s general secretary Obaidul Quader.
He stated it at a press conference held at Awami League president`s political office at Dhanmondi in the capital on Thursday afternoon.
"We want to pledge to create employment opportunities for youth. One crore employment will be generated in the next five years. It means 20 lakh a year. It`s our goal," he said.
Terming the skyrocketing prices of essentials in the market as a `burning issue`, the Awami League leader said the government has been making highest efforts to keep the prices of essentials under purchasing power of people.
Quader also said the Awami League`s priorities include building capabilities in the banking and financial sector and expanding the industry, ensuring the effectiveness and accountability of law enforcers, containing militancy and expanding the exercise of democracy at all levels.
