Govt bargaining to buy politicians like cows to bring them in polls: BNP

Staff Reporter :
The main opposition party-BNP on Wednesday alleged that the government is trying to buy politicians by bargaining as cows to bring them in the field of elections under this Awami League regime.

“Sheikh Hasina has put different government agencies in the field to form the so-called King’s parties. Bargaining is going on like a cattle market to hire leaders from different parties to join the next election under this regime.

Many patriotic leaders are being pressured and intimidated to join Awami League making King’s Party,” BNP Senior Joint-Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said it while addressing a virtual press briefing.

“The government is using state agencies to form different baseless and so-called Kings’ parties hiring people from different parties to stage a mockery in the name of the national election slated for January 7,” he said.

Rizvi also said some people are selling their souls to take part in the farcical election out of their greed for a little money and other repayment.

The BNP leader said that some people are joining the so-called King’s parties and going to Bangabhaban and Ganabhaban, leaving the movement to establish people’s rights based on a commitment to get a share of looted money.

Without directly mentioning the name of any party or individual, Rizvi said the traitors will be thrown into the dustbin of history. “These colour-changing parasitic politicians are not sensing the signal of the people.”

“The people of the country rejected this election schedule of the mafia group, in this stage the fascist Sheikh Hasina has now become desperate to stage a mockery in the name of election by creating the so-called King’s parties,” the BNP leader said.

Rizvi accused the government of creating pressure on the leaders of different political parties to take part in the upcoming national polls.
