Politics of fraud and intimidation

Saleh Mohammad Ayub, Houston, Texas, USA
After assuming the responsibility of running the affairs of the state, the government has barely fulfilled the promises made to the people prior to election, thereby committing fraud. When people stage demonstration protesting such failures by the government, the regime in power suppresses such demonstrations with force, inflicting terror and fear in the minds of the people, thereby committing intimidation. I wonder with dismay whether there will ever be an exploitation-free society in Bangladesh, where the politicians will fulfil their election pledges and work for the welfare of the nation, and not from their selfish motives.
