Old habits...
It is our habit to shift responsibilities to others.
Before the December 2008 election, the present ruling party promised to the nation - “DIN BODOLER PALA” and that slogan ensured their election victory with absolute majority in parliament. Common people kept faith on their approach and got the Mohajot elected. General public gave the verdict because the activities of the past ruling parties (i.e., the BNP Jamaat Jote) disappointed them enormously. It is clear to all of us that the failures of the past government are numerous.
The power sector is not an exception to it. During the period of BNP-Jamaat Jot, the power sector did not see any development or augmentation of its generation capacity. All the hazards in the power sector now being faced by the nation are the product of the misdeeds and callous handling by the then government.
The present government is now ruling the country with popular mandate. They have no way to shift responsibilities to others.

We are now paying the price for failing to plan properly. Summer will be there, it is not new in Bangladesh. But our sufferings can be lessened if we have ELECTRICITY at home. But that is not the case now.
When will our sufferings come to an end?
