Political scenario
The retaining of power for two consecutive years by the caretaker government and the delaying of the national elections have been an exceptionally intriguing situation that has confronted us lately. The caretaker government started off their proceedings by entering into the political arena quite ambitiously but consequently failed to live up to their desired expectations. The more they dug, the more dirt spilled out of the heart of this country. All kinds of obnoxious and filthy corruption were viciously interrelated and no doubt they were unable to cope with all these diverse predicaments and directly hit the core with the extremely restricted time limit they had. Of course in a country rules are made to protect it and for its betterment, but when those same rules and regulations act as a stumbling block for development and change, then they have to be deliberately overlooked. After the tragedy of 1/11, the whole country plunged into deep worries. The political parties all went after each other's throat and made life miserable for the people. Under such immense pressure the caretaker government, which comprised caretakers of the highest esteem with unmatched capabilities which was accompanied by their rather outstanding and remarkable professional careers, succeeded in pushing this country out of the political unrest. But at the end of the day we all would be displeased to unwillingly agree with the fact that they really should have done more.
The AL has won a landslide victory in the elections. But if they exploit power and fail to win the people's hearts, then they have to be prepared to experience the same downfall as the BNP did.
