In his speech, Mofiqul Hasan Tripti said that there have been various conspiracies to weaken the nationalist party, but the people have not accepted any of the conspiracies. He clearly stated that there was no 'PR' in the Constitution of Bangladesh, there is no and there will be no in the future. Addressing Jamaat-e-Islami, he said that they are capitalizing on religion and selling fake tickets to paradise—this is a business of religion, the outcome of which is nothing but the wrath of Allah.

Addressing the younger generation, he said that due to 17 years of repression and distortion of history, many do not know the contribution of BNP. Ziaur Rahman was the proclaimer of independence, brought about a change in the country's political culture through fair elections. Garment industry, earning foreign exchange, canal excavation program - all of them were his groundbreaking initiatives. Ziaur Rahman was uncompromising in confronting India from the Farakka issue to South Talpatti. His initiative in the unity of the Muslim world during the Iran-Iraq war pushed him towards being assassinated in an international conspiracy. He recalled the contribution of Begum Khaleda Zia and said that she made education free for girls, provided scholarships, established the Directorate of Youth Development and took numerous positive steps for the development of the country.
When elected as an MP, he promised to build new buildings in all educational institutions in Sharsha, assist in enrolling MPOs, provide suitable jobs to educated youth, provide unemployment allowance until employment is secured, provide training and employment for mothers and sisters, zero tolerance against extortion and brokering, provide a modern transportation system, and digitalize Benapole Port.
