Awami League (AL) General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader on Friday said BNP doesn't remain well as the country's people remain well.
"BNP feels jealousy as Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is implementing development projects one after another including Padma bridge, metro-rail, elevated expressway, Karnaphuli tunnel, underpasses, upgrading highways to four or eight lanes and reaching electricity to the doorsteps of people," he said.
The minister made the observations while addressing as the chief guest the triennial council of Awami League Chapainawabganj municipality unit virtually, reports BSS.
BNP leaders are making scathing comments as they are envious of these development works, he said, adding that today the wind of peace is blowing through Bangladesh after overcoming the darkness during the BNP rule and that is the reason for BNP's jealousy.
Mentioning that country's democracy is not safe to BNP, the minister said BNP doesn't do politics for the country's people rather for looters.
Talking of movements doesn't suit the people, who could not bring out a single effective procession on streets for the party's chairperson, he said, adding that BNP's series meetings are part of series conspiracy.
As the people boycotted BNP, they fear to take part in polls and that is why BNP is spreading propaganda centring the elections, he added.
Quader said Sheikh Hasina's goal is to improve the lot of the people while BNP's target is to make their own fortune.
He also called upon the party leaders to provide scopes for devoted activists of the party who stayed beside the AL during its dire needs.
The AL general secretary said public representatives who will be found involved in wrongdoings, drug trading, and terrorist acts will not get party's nomination in any elections in the future.
