The main opposition BNP has claimed that the country is headed for a deeper crisis due to prime minister's stubborn attitude and corruption.
Addressing a discussion at the National Press Club on Tuesday, the party's Standing Committee Member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain said that the government had destroyed the power sector in a planned way by setting up quick rental power plants.
"They've failed to succeed in any area, including law and order situation and corruption eradication. It appears that the country is being pushed towards a deeper crisis due to the stubborn attitude of the prime minister. To get rid of this situation, there is no alternative to pulling down this unsuccessful government."
Mosharraf, a former energy minister, blamed the government's 'wrong policy' for the power crisis. He said that after the Awami League took the office, it decided to set up quick rental power plants without any tender to loot money from the power sector.
"There would have been no power crisis in the country if the projects taken up by the BNP government had been implemented," he added.
To deal with the soaring demand for power, the government set up 24 furnace oil-based rental and peaking power plants soon after it took the office in January in 2009. It also plans to set up 27 more power plants of this category. But production in most of the power plants has remained suspended as the prices of furnace oil shot up.
