I will work for the residents of Narayanganj until death,” she said while talking to reporters at her residence Chunkha Kutir, named after her father Ali Ahmed Chunkha, in the Deobhog area of the city. “I have met the people as a commoner and I did not make any false promises as that is why the prime minister chose me. I dedicate the victory to the people of Narayanganj,” she said. Replying to a question Ivy said “I believe that the turnout would have been higher if the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) did not slow down voters and I would have won bagging several thousand more votes. Many female voters failed to cast their votes.” READ: NCC Polls: Ivy rewrites history with a hat-trick She also pledged that she will work with all the residents of Narayanganj. “I vowed to you to work for you until the last day of my life,” she added.
