Broken promises
Last general election of Bangladesh was really an exciting experience for me. I was able to vote for the first time. That is why I made sure I did not vote for the wrong party or candidate. I searched for my answer in the past records of our country. Both the leaders of the most powerful parties have been involved in corruption. So choosing between two was a dilemma for me. It was as if I had to choose between a snake and a crocodile as a pet. That is why I went for the so called “NO VOTE” option. I urged my friends to do so. Literally, I ran a mini campaign for this option. Despite my decision I had sub-consciously hoped that if Awami League came to power, things might change. People change and learn from their mistakes. But now I think that I was right all along. As soon as they came to power JCL, the student wing of the ruling party, took over the Chittagong University as if it was some kind of a business. Awami League must be forgetting the promises they had made before the election. They are underestimating the power of the general public. I guess just like BNP next election will mean end for Awami League as well.
