Lessons to learn

The Indian prime minister resigned soon after the election results had been declared. The BJP had many a time criticised Sonia Gandhi for being a foreigner, but she also did not lose her patience, and replied to all these accusations very politely. They both showed tolerance and respect to each other. These are only a few of the examples of good characters, which the general people expect from the politicians.

But unfortunately, we the people of Bangladesh are seeing different scenarios every time before and after the elections. In our speeches we severely attack the opponents, and the opponents also brutally answer those attacks in their speeches. We after coming to power always claim that the opposition party had done nothing good for the people, all the good deeds are being done by only us. And if we lose the election, we do not want to resign.

There is a lot to learn from our neighbouring country, besides the Hindi films and songs.
