AL to get 30 seats if polls held now
Says Moudud
BNP Standing Committee Member Moudud Ahmed yesterday said Awami League would win 30 seats, like BNP, if national election was held right now as it has lost its popularity.
Referring to opinion polls conducted by newspapers saying the government's popularity declined by 10 percent, he said if the popularity decreased even by five percent, they will get not more than 30 seats and fearing this, they are not holding the Dhaka City Corporation election.
The Daily Star and daily Prothom Alo on Wednesday published opinion polls report showing that popularity of the government is declining.
Moudud was addressing a meeting on the first death anniversary of BM Bakir Hossain, former president of Sonali Bank Employees Union and a leader of Jatiyatabadi Sramik Dal, an associate body of BNP.
The union organised the meeting at Bhasani Auditorium in city's Naya Paltan.
Terming the prime minister's speech meaningless, Moudud said it was a routine speech where she hid many problems like price hike of essentials and law and order situation.
Moudud, also a former law minister, said the prime minister could not say anything regarding human rights violation, extra judicial killings and repression on the opposition.
BNP Standing Committee Member Nazrul Islam Khan and Senior Joint Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, among others, spoke in the meeting with the union President Zakir Hossain in the chair.
