The 45 minuite speech only contained his planning about future Bangladesh. Placing his dream to the workers he asked them whether these are possible for implementation who in reply supported in a single voice and chorused that it is possible under the leadership of Tarrique.

If we limit ourselves with the usual practice of old ideas we cannot reach our destination. If you want to survive by competing with the opposition you are to fix your strategy of production and development.
Why Bangladesh cannot do:
Tarrique placing his ideas about agriculture, education, tourism, power and garments said that if other countries of the world can do it why not we?
He disclosed that the agriculture sector can be made export oriented industry by increasing subsidy. He referred to some super shops of Britain where they sell agri-products in their grocery shops.
He suggested to build a single export oriented platform with the agriculture and poultry industry. Giving on this agri-poultrty industry he said Bangladesh can fetch 5 billion dollars in next five years from its present export volume 1.5 billion dollar in this sector.
Separate Ministry for garments sector:
He mentioned that garments is one of the principal foreign currency earner sector which has also employed a vast manpower of the country. If we can modernize this industry befitting the need of the time we will be able to earn 45 billion dollars in five years from present 22 billion dollars. In this connection he laid stress on setting up a separate ministry.
Development of skill in learning multi-language:
The future key-leader of BNP also put stress on learning various languages so that we can be employed for job in any country of the world beside mastery over English.

Tarrique said that government should patronize the small machineries factory set up at Dhoile khal, Bogra and Syedpur under individual entrepreneurship because in that case these would flourish helping Bangladesh economy.
There is a strong scope of growing agriculture, automobile, construction and ship building industry in Bangladesh and Tarrique added that there is international market of agriculture machineries is 125 billion dollar. If China can export agriculture machineries worth 12 billion dollar can’t we be the part of 1 percent of this agri machineries export of total 125 billion dollar.
We need another submarine cable:
Tarrique said that our youths are very much skill in data processing, call center, soft ware development and they are no less than the foreign youths. We want to earn more forex by employing their skill in this sector. However for all these performing we need high speed internet that can be attained by installing another submarine cable, he said.
