BNP now desperate to assume power: Quader

Awami League (AL) General Secretary Obaidul Quader has said BNP has become desperate to capture state power by any means, while its leaders have lost their sense.

Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, said this in a statement on Wednesday.

“BNP leaders could not understand that the Awami League does politics by standing beside the country’s people. It takes and determines plans and programmes for the welfare of people.

BNP was in power, they ran steamroller of exploitation and oppression on people considering them as enemies and established a reign of terror across the country by sponsoring terrorism and extremism, he said.

“And now they (BNP leaders) are using the people as a tool to create confusion and anarchy through violence and continuing ill-efforts against a constitutionally legitimate and democratically elected government aiming to assume the state power,,” he said.
