BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Saturday accused the government of deceiving people by collecting money for the next election campaign in the name of raising funds for the Padma bridge.
He was speaking at a token hunger strike organised in front of the National Press Club by the Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal demanding the release of BNP leader Jahangir Alam.
Fakhrul said, “The World Bank has cancelled the loan, now the government wants to build the Padma bridge with the people’s own money. This is an opportunity for them to steal money.”
He added that the election is nearing and the AL government is planning to take money from the people’s pockets to run the election.
The BNP leader further said that the prices of rice, lentils oil and many more essentials are increasing ahead of Ramadan.
He urged the government to take notice of this situation and bring the prices of essentials under control. He said that common businesspeople had claimed that some AL men are directly helping create syndicates which are causing prices to shoot up.
Fakhrul also held the government's nepotism responsible for the deadlock at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet).
"They've ruined the congenial academic atmosphere at the top educational institutions through recruiting party-backed people there," he said.
