One year of the govt.

OH Kabir, Dhaka
Our opinion on one year of Awami League govt.? Do we have freedom of press and right to information? If yes, call a spade a spade. Why no autarky but wastage of public money and misuse of govt. transports? Why occasional price hike of rice, lentil, potatoes and sugar? What have been the performances of the Ministry of Commerce and TCB? Why illegal toll collection on roads, highways and clashes over tender submission? Why on the one hand BNP lawmakers are boycotting Jatiya Sangsad and on the other hand drawing their pay and allowances like old Awami League lawmakers? Why do the flood, cyclone and 'river erosion' affected people continue to suffer for indefinite periods? Why don't Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Leader of the Opposition Begum Khaleda Zia meet with each other? Whither 'Din Badaler Pala '-- the pledge for Charter of Change? Whatever have been the circumstances the greatest failure of the Awami League govt. is load shedding. However, the greatest success of the Awami League govt. is the momentous, free and colossal distribution of textbooks to schoolboys and girls on the eve of Happy New Year 2010.
