Driven by confusion

Md. Mohsin Ali, Nutan Courtpara, Kushtia
Perhaps the ruling AL's decision-makers are now suffering from the severe trauma caused by devastating defeats in the last CC elections. Two instances may be cited in support of the contention. It is really unbelievable how the 'talented' ruling party decision-makers could jump at grabbing thousands of billboards at Dhaka city without the permission of the advertising agencies! The idea behind this billboard blitzkrieg was to 'mesmerise' the citizens by digitally highlighting the government's achievements! Their eagerness to salvage the government's sinking popularity childishly ignored the illegality of the drive. Another glaring instance of confused decision-making is the unusual postponement of mayoral elections in three municipalities even after announcement of polls-schedules as desired by the LGRD ministry. One can easily guess that the shadow of defeat still haunts the bewildered ruling party bosses. Let us hope that the ruling party decision-makers will soon recover from any 'obsession' and take sensible and realistic decisions for the party.
