Housing and Public Works Minister Engineer Mosharraf Hossain has urged the elected BNP lawmakers to accept people’s verdict and take oath.
He was addressing media at the Secretariat yesterday when he said, “It will not be wise to reject the verdict made by the general people of Bangladesh. Though they [BNP] are less in number, they can talk in favour of people they represent.”
“If BNP decides to refrain themselves from going to the parliament, they will make a huge mistake.”
Replying to a query, the minister revealed that at least 30 to 35 lawmakers will represent the Jatiya Party and BNP as opposition.
Regarding his chances of becoming a minister again, he said: “I do not know. The prime minister will decide and I will abide by it.”
Mentioning that his ministry has been very successful in the last five years, Mosharraf said: “We have made many developments in the housing sector. The government housing programs have increased from being 8% to 30%. Besides, construction of 543 apartments for Mirpur slum dwellers is going on in full swing.”
