Padma bridge couldn’t be built for govt’s corruption: BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia,Bangladesh


BANGLADESH NEWS

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia on Saturday said the much-talked-about Padma bridge could not be built due to corruption of the government.

“We built many large bridges. But there was no corruption,” she said while distributing relief materials among the disaster-affected people at Zia Complex at Bahaddarhat in Chittagong.

The opposition leader said the World Bank and Canada provided evidence of corruption in the multi-billion Padma bridge project. “But those responsible for the graft do still exist though their ministries were changed.”

She said those who will vote Awami League again even after knowing the government’s corruption will betray the country.

Khaleda also said they would construct two bridges on the Padma River-one in Mawa and another in Paturia-Doulatdia- if BNP is voted to power.

She said BNP would neither take part in any election nor let any election be held in the country without a caretaker government. “The government must restore the caretaker government system or quit.”

The leader of the opposition also threatened to wage a tougher movement after Eid-ul-Fitr, urging all to join the agitation.
