AL leadership


It seems that Awami League leaders are desperate to come to power. They cannot wait for the EC reforms to take shape. Ironically though, many of these reforms were proposed by the AL during the four-party alliance rule. Now, the AL wants a truncated version of reform implementation as they claim that full implementation of reform package is unnecessary. From the way AL chief Hasina speaks in interviews and public talks, one gets the impression that the current caretaker government has a de facto obligation to make sure that the AL comes back to power. The present leadership of the AL, as usual, has failed to read the popular sentiments.

This should be clear that this government enjoys support of the masses on the streets and people would like this government to execute the reform package in its entirety before the general election is held. The AL top leadership should realise that.
