The BNP would cease to exist if it chooses to boycott elections in the future, LGRD Minister Syed Ashraful Islam has said, adding that the next national polls would be held under the existing constitution.
Addressing an Awami League programme at the Kishoreganj Circuit House yesterday, he said everyone should be aware about participating in the next elections, which he hoped would be enthusiastically contested by all the political parties.
Speaking as the chief guest, the LGRD minister added that the political parties which would boycott the elections would end up being hurt.
Stressing on the need for long-term plans, Syed Ashraf said it was difficult for a government to achieve development in just one or two terms in power.
Mentioning the example of China, the Awami League general secretary said the Chinese administration was able make great leaps of development by unifying its people under a one-party rule; while the Awami League government was working on sustaining its development activities under a democratic system.
