BNP has urged the government to quit for its "utter failure" to tackle the worsening flood situation, prevent dengue and the growing incidents of killing, rape and social anarchy.
“Though the dengue situation has turned epidemic, there is no effective step from the government to prevent it while flood-affected people are going through immense sufferings for lack of relief materials, medicines and treatment,” BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said on Thursday.
He informed the information at a press conference at BNP's Nayapaltan central office.
"Those who cannot carry out a trivial task of killing mosquito should not be there in power anymore," the BNP leader said.
Rizvi said the government is "reluctant" about tackling disasters like flood and dengue as it has no accountability and sense of responsibility for people since there is no democracy in the country.
He criticised the government for its "failure" to maintain law and order as the incidents of killing and rape marked a sharp rise in the country.
