Addressing a political rally in Ramotswa, they said opposition parties would never make a difference in peoples lives because their manifestos are radically different from the BDPs manifesto.

He said their aim is to sell government programmes to the electorates so that they could benefit and improve their standard of living.
He accused the opposition parties for practising dirty politics and claiming that government programmes which are aimed at helping the people to survive the harsh realities of life and to ensure that the economy grows, are intended to buy the elections.
Mr Gaseitsiwe called on the electorate to ignore opposition parties, as they do not have the best interest of Batswana at heart.
He said the BDP is the only party that has a strong leadership that could add value to the peoples lives and ensure that the country experiences economic growth.

He said BCP is good in spreading all types of lies, as it wants people to believe that it is the main opposition party whereas it has only one Member of Parliament.
Mr Motlhale said at BDP there is proper consultation and enforcement of democratic processes and procedures as people vie for varying positions.
He said opposition parties would never lead this country because of their poor style of management and a lack of convivial working relations within the community.
Mr Motlhale advised electorate to register in large numbers and exercise their right thoose the candidates of their choice during the general elections advising them to opt for people with vision and who could be in a position to render selfless service to them.
