AL has no plan to split BNP: Quader

FENI, July 20 (BSS): Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader dismissed on Monday all speculations about ruling Awami League's plan to split the BNP saying that BNP is not a cause of concern for the AL.

"The government is running the country with an ease and determination and the BNP has no more a cause of creating discomfort for it. So, the ruling party has no plan to split the BNP," he said after inaugurating two foot-over bridges in Lalpul area on Dhaka-Chittagong Highway.

Both of the bridges have been constructed at a cost of Tk 10 million (1.0 crore) under the project of Dhaka-Chittagong four- lane highways.

"A total of 33 foot-over bridges will be constructed from Dhaka to Chittagong under the project," Quader, also a Presidium Member of the AL said.

The construction work on Dhaka-Chittagong four- lane highways will be completed by this December, he hoped.

 Speaking about the recent reshuffle in the cabinet, the minister said, "It is a routine work and it is the only authority of the Prime Minister and Jatiya Sangsad leader."
