Election manifesto and our destiny!

One government takes leave, another government sets foot, but the of public does not change. Election comes, political parties make commitments, but most of these don't see the light of the day after the election victory. Giving state run radio and television autonomy was BNP's election commitment in 1991election manifesto but they are yet fulfil this vital election pledge as Mr. Ahsan mentioned. During Awami League's tenure, BNP strongly criticised the then government's ineffective steps in this regard. But what are they doing now?

Corruption is the key hindrance of our enduring development. The donor agencies and Transparency International pointed out it many times. To eradicate corruption from all sectors, Mr. Ahsan's suggested four key election pledges are essential to implement. But the main problem is that our pragmatic politics is already corrupt and if the four commitments are implemented, their corruption will be end.

If we can eradicate "corruption" from all sectors, Bangladesh will not be far behind from countries like Malaysia or Singapore. But to reach that spot, our political leaders should ardently discharge their duties to meet public demand according to their election manifestos.
