BNP now in leadership crisis: PM Hasina
Mentioning that BNP is currently experiencing a leadership crisis, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina about Tuesday said people do not trust the party that have convicted and fugitive people in its helm.
"Today, BNP includes a leadership crisis…people haven't any trust and confidence found in a party that has convicted and fugitive persons in its leadership," she said in her valedictory speech found in the 11th session of the 11th parliament, UNB reports.
Sheikh Hasina, as well the first choice of the House, said Awami League has earned public trust and confidence that's reflected in the recent local body elections.
"Since people are receiving the companies from Awami League and the united states is making improvement, Awami League has acquired their trust. We’ve experienced its reflection on municipality elections," she said.
The Primary Minister said people are sincerely casting their votes through electronic voting devices (EVM) and there is absolutely no scope for vote-rigging through EVMs.
There is no way for influencing the election through muscle power in EVMs, she said adding, "Yes, problems can happen among councillor candidates occasionally through the local body elections (local body)."
In an oblique mention of Khaleda Zia and Tarique Rahman, Hasina questioned how a party can function for people when those that had to provide jail term for graft and embezzlement of money of orphans and got convicted in the 10-truck arms haul and grenade attack cases are there in the party leadership.
