Where will we go?

Badal Hasib, English teacher, Dhanmondi, Dhaka
We the commoners are in serious problem. No matter who comes to power, the worse happens to us. The inflation has gone so high that people like us are finding it very difficult to cope with. The sudden rise in the electricity price has made our life miserable. We the commoners pay our bills, pay our income tax, vote for the betterment of the country, and in return all we get is immense suffering. Nobody listens to the common people. The sudden increase in the electricity bill has been the last nail on the commoners' coffin. The bill has become almost double, and yet we don't get electricity. There is load shedding on every alternate hour. Then why should we pay the augmented bills? Everywhere in the market the product quality and quantity have gone down, yet we are paying extra amount. It seems nobody listens to the common people but they are the people who elect a party to power and the people they elect do not even pay heed to their problems. Where will we go?
