Senior Joint Secretary General of the BNP, Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, stated that only an elected government can truly serve the people.
He made these remarks on Monday, October 14, during a press conference on current issues at the BNP’s headquarters in Naya Paltan, Dhaka.
Rizvi criticized the interim government, saying, "It has been over two months since the interim government took office. We believe that power must return to the people. Only an elected government can work for the welfare of the people."
He also emphasized the need for the interim government to take a more active role in combating dengue. "Dengue is not a new disease; preventive measures should have been taken earlier," he said.
Highlighting BNP’s role, Rizvi mentioned, "BNP is a people-centric party, and we are doing what we can. Until the dengue outbreak subsides, our awareness and relief activities will continue. Blood donations will be arranged through our website and hotline."
He urged the government to take significant steps to save lives. "We are not in power to use the administration; we are serving voluntarily," Rizvi added.
He criticized the government’s focus on infrastructure, saying, "Building flyovers won’t save lives. Instead, it creates frustration among the people."
