There’s no point of such a daydream as it’ll exhaust like a hollow balloon,” he said. Quader also said BNP has thought Awami League will not be able to overcome the Rohingya crisis and thus lose votes. “But our leader (Sheikh Hasina) has given 600,000 Rohingyas shelter and she’s giving them various facilities. Our vote will see an increase over the issue.”Hitting out at BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir for his comment that Awami League will not get even 25 seats if their party joins the next polls, he said people will decide who will go to power. “You had once said Awami League wouldn’t be able to return to power in 200 years, but we’ve been in power for nine consecutive years.”Alleging that Khaleda Zia returned home after hatching a blueprint in London, he said but people will not allow her to implement it.
