‘Deal with Adani was signed considering Bangladesh’s interest’

Claiming that Bangladesh signed the deal with Adani keeping the cent per cent interest of the people of Bangladesh, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader said the people have benefited from the agreement.

The AL leader said this in a statement on Sunday (March 12).

He said the government has taken an initiative to purchase electricity from Adani Group through a profitable contract to ensure uninterrupted power supply to all.

At a minimum price rate, the minister said, Bangladesh would bring the electricity from India that would be generated by burning coal at a power plant to be built in India with a $2 billion investment by an Indian firm. "And the people of Bangladesh will use this electricity," he added.
