People want to know who will be BNP leader in next polls: Obaidul Quader

Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader
today said the country’s people want to know who will be the leader of the
Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) in the next general elections.

“The people want to know who will be your imam (the leader of BNP) in the
next elections,” he told a press briefing at his secretariat office here.

Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, came up with the
remarks, responding to the statements of BNP leaders that they had made a
mistake in 2018 by making Gonoforum President Dr Kamal Hossain as their
leader.

About the decision of the BNP and its allies that they will form a national
government if they win in the next general polls, he said: “They (BNP
leaders) are dreaming again. In the last election, they formed Jatiya Oikya
Front. It will be seen whether the national government dreamed by them is a
national mockery with the nation or not”.

The AL general secretary said at first the BNP should join the polls and if
the people want it, the party would win the polls.

“The BNP does not believe in the electoral process rather it (BNP leaders)
wants to go to power through conspiracy,” he added.

He said the BNP is now getting united with some leaders, who are isolated
from people as part of its daydreaming of government formation.

People think that this unity will not put any impact on the field of
elections, Quader said.

He said the BNP and its allies are hatching plots to oust Prime Minister
Sheikh Hasina’s government in the name of unity and the Awami League is ready
to resist their intrigues.

Replying to another remark of the BNP leaders, the AL general secretary said:
“Who is the BNP to give chance the AL to stay in power? The country’s people
only have the power to do so. The people are the source of power and the
Almighty Allah is the owner of giving power.”

He said the AL assumed power with the people’s mandate and how long they
want, the AL will remain in power.

Earlier, Democracy International representative Dana L Olds paid a courtesy
call on Quader at his secretariat office.
