Poll-time government likely in October: Obaidul

General Secretary of ruling Awami League Obaidul Quader on Wednesday said that there is possibility of the poll-time government formation in October.

Talking to the reporters Road Transport and Bridges Minister said the poll-time government will be formed after the Election Commission announces the election schedule, reports UNB.

He said it would not be a new government rather the incumbent government will take charge as the poll-time government but the size of the cabinet will be smaller.

Over BNP’s movement he said “BNP does not have any preparation for launching movement, people will not respond to their call.”

About BNP’s participation in the next general election, Obaidul said “If BNP doesn’t participate that doesn’t mean it’ll be unilateral polls.  Many other parties will participate in the polls and it will be an inclusive one.”  

The minister wondered why BNP is afraid of taking part in the national polls when the party is participating in the elections to the city corporations.

Over the conditions of roads across the country, Obaidul said all the problems of roads and highways will be resolved rapidly. People had comfortable journey during Eid-ul-Fitr, similarly they were preparing for safe journey during Eid-ul Azha.
