Politics of billboard
Flooding the city with billboards highlighting the government's performance has been done as an aggressive campaign by the ruling party; and probably with the advice of Harvard Professor as per plan of Mr. Joy, one of the two probable future leaders of this unlucky nation.
The owners of the billboards said that they would suffer a loss of tk. 150 crore if the billboards are not returned within a year. But the question is, how can a government resort to such an illegal step violating all norms and decency? It is to be noted that the opposition did not launch any such billboards campaign to achieve landslide victory in all city corporation elections. The opposition can now put some billboards highlighting how much money was robbed of the share market, what the nation lost for one AL man who stood in the way of Padma bridge, how many politically motivated cases for AL people were withdrawn, crores (in thousands) of money siphoned off from public banks, achievement of our foreign minister who made world record in foreign trips, numbers of extra judicial killings etc. The list is endless.
