The battle of the second generation in capital’s politics has ensued with the nomination of the Mayor candidates in two Cities! So the capital of Dhaka is now in the hands of the second generation. The boys have taken to the political field after their fathers. In the post of mayor, with the exception of one, battle among sons is ensued.
Former Mayor Hanif’s son and the outgoing Mayor Saeed Khokon is over while the sons of two giant politicians facing the polling ground. Sheikh Fazle Noor Tapas, son of Sheikh Fazlul Huq Mani, a leader of post-independence youth politics, has become an Awami League candidate. His rival, former mayor and politician Sadek Hossain Khoka's son Israq Hossain has been nominated by the BNP. In the north, the current mayor Atiqul Islam was re-nominated from Awami League, but Tabith Awal, son of businessman-politician Abdul Awal Minto, has been nominated by BNP.
Other than the only mayor Atiq, others are discussed because of patriarchal heritage and legacy. In this discussion, as is the case of familyization of politics, there is information about the emergence of second generation in politics and the fate of Dhaka and future issues.
Fazle Noor Tapas lost his father in childhood and did not receive direct political patronage from his father. Through hard work and hard work, he has to build his professional career and political life. Along with the leadership of the lawyer society, he has been elected a Member of Parliament from the important Dhanmondi-Mohammadpur area of Dhaka. Leaving the post of Member of Parliament, he wants to become mayor of a well-planned and modern capital.
As a Member of Parliament of an important constituency in Dhaka, he wants to come to the post of mayor to remove the obstacles faced by the corporation. The Awami League wants to present a precious team with the nominee of the north-facing Mayor Atik, to give a smart team to the people of Dhaka who hope to succeed in building a suitable capital for the 21st Century.
The BNP has brought the Israqi-Tabith pair forward with such thinking. They are also interested in ensuring their position in politics along the path of their father.
What has come to the forefront of the issue of family influence in Dhaka politics is the emergence of a new generation. The new generation has no choice but to build a half-century-old capital city with the traditions of modern facilities and structures. The new generation can accelerate the development of Dhaka in remote workforce.
With the heritages of Mughal Dhaka, the metropolis is now a growing megacity in South Asia. Crossing the Turag River from Buriganga, the boundaries and population of Dhaka are increasing every day. The possibilities of Dhaka are also increasing.
Besides, the problem of Dhaka is not less. Environment pollution, mosquitoes, water logging, traffic congestion, etc. have polluted Dhaka. Modern urbanization, greening, speedy communication, development of civic facilities and physical infrastructure are essential for Dhaka. It is also important to save Dhaka and create opportunities for future. The implementation of the advanced and sophisticated Tilottama Dhaka metropolis is an important national challenge.
The upcoming mayoral election is a battle of the sons, as well as a vote to save and develop Dhaka. The fate of the new leadership will not be determined in this election, the future of Dhaka will be determined. #
