Hasina was continuously blaming BNP for this murder. But now it seems the killers are her own party people.

Police's action is laughable and the alleged lawmaker has a lot to answer.

“Failed in road job, trusted in bridge” (May 22, 2014)

It seems as if being a blacklisted company of ill repute means nothing in Bangladesh. All that matters is how much kickback you give to grease the bureaucrats' palms. This is why I've personally been suspicious of many Chinese firms and their sincerity and professionalism.

Are we seriously expecting a miracle? Otherwise, how come this company is going to complete that high priority mega-project successfully in time, who are not capable of constructing an ordinary road timely? Most importantly, how could this Chinese company become the lone bidder? Is that because we have projected an image of huge corruption to the international community?

Padma Bridge will cost 45% more than 2009's estimated budget.

Welcome to Bangladesh. To get government contract, efficiency of contractors with respect to their past performance does not matter. In a civilised society, this company would have been barred from bidding straight away.

“Modi and the dynasts” (May 21, 2014)

Dev Saha
Good analysis with many great examples! People have got sick and apathetic with these leaders and yet can't do much because there are inner circles of stooges, who have always prevented the real reform within the parties. Nobody dare to say that the emperor does not have the clothes. If Modi can end it, he should be given the opportunity.
