Comments on news report

“Triumph of 'atheist' card,” published on June 17, 2013 Dev Saha Being atheist is not sinful or a crime! Be God-fearing as much you wish, but do not feed us with lies! If these lies are being used for election, then we have reached our newest low point. Samih34 I find this Star report quite baffling because on the back page of the same issue of TDS, the news report titled 'What went wrong for them' gives a completely different picture that voters voted against 14-party backed candidates because of their various failures and the Jubo League and BCL goons' plundering of others' properties. M. Ashraf The fact that government has failed to curb corruption and shamelessly supported their minions beyond the legal system may have something to do with their utter and dismal loss. This is an indication that the ball is now in BNP's court and it is their turn to destroy the economy of the country for the next few years as AL has done in the last few years. Biswajyoti Roy Doing enough development activities may not necessarily bring you a victory, but playing the religion card cunningly can. MH Khan The AL created a lot of mishaps in the recent past. They tried to manipulate the Shahbag protest to the extent that it was not sustainable and at the same time they tried to play with fire, the mischievous Hefajaties. Probably the AL should learn where to slow down and where to stop. Shaheen K It is a shame how you are trying to taint the victory of the people by trying to implicate the victory being connected to Hefajat. Raf Chow Corruption, arrogance and blatant abuse of absolute power were the main reasons for this downfall.   “BNP feasts on AL failures” (June 17, 2013) Muhammad Lateef Results of the country's major city corporation polls have once again established the “fact” that, Bangladeshis are necessarily patriots but at the same time are aware of the importance of their faith and belief system. By producing one-sided propaganda a short-lived success may be achieved but eventually it backfires and this is what precisely happened. zerosopher BNP has a lesson to learn from AL's failure. Bring honesty supported by vision and professionalism. Otherwise it will not take longer for people to throw them away as well. cernventure No ideological change will happen in Bangladesh politics as long as the mindset of some people does not change drastically.
