Party should assess municipal poll results: Quader
Awami League (AL) Presidium Member Obaidul Quader yesterday said the ruling party would have to assess whether any impact of price hike of essentials and law and order issues on the municipal poll results.
“Without holding the rebel candidates only responsible for not securing good results in the municipal polls, we will have to investigate the main reasons behind it. If there is any errors we will have to correct them immediately keeping the next parliamentary elections in mind,” he said.
Many local agendas also determine the fate of municipal elections results, he added.
The AL policymaker told a discussion titled “Fair political trend--what we should do” at Photo Journalists' Association office in the city. Later, he distributed warm clothes among the poor people.
The AL leader, however, said the municipal elections were held across the country in a free and fair manner under an independent election commission and the government did not interfere in the poll a bit.
“The present government has become successful in its challenge to hold a free, fair and credible elections and our opposition's prediction that the polls would not be free and fair has been proved as false.”
He said the present government did not do well in all sectors in last two years, but it is trying its best to accomplish the target. The main opposition has failed in both the streets and the parliament, said Quader adding that the BNP also failed to keep its promise to speak for people.
He urged the BNP to join the parliament and raise all of its allegations against the government.
