Noted columnist Abdul Gaffar Chowdhury on Friday blamed BNP senior vice chairman Tarique Rahman for spoiling the January 5 parliamentary polls by advising BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia not to join any interim government under Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, reports UNB.
Both Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda Zia had "almost agreed" to be a part of the election time government, he said, addressing a discussion at the Jatiya Press Club in the city.
Gaffar Chowdhury further said: "An agreement was almost reached under the UN mediation that Sheikh Hasina would remain the prime minister, but without any executive power.
