Without uninterrupted supply of electricity, we cannot even think of running our modern life and continue the overall economic development activities of the country smoothly. Earth's fossil fuels used in electricity generation are getting rapidly exhausted. Advanced countries of the world are doing extensive research to evolve alternatives to fossil fuel (coal, fuel oil, natural gas, etc,) for generating electricity and running vehicles, aeroplanes, etc. Fossil fuels have other disadvantages because burning of these hydrocarbons produces huge amount of Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that allows radiative forcing and contributes to global warming.

I firmly believe that election will not be fair under political government no matter how much power is given to the Election Commission. I am certain that the government will reduce the power of the election commissioners few days before the election. I respect former Chief Election Commissioner Mr. Huda very much but I must say that on his last day at office he said something unrealistic.

The people of this land once fought for protecting the dignity of their mother tongue. Millions of people sacrificed their lives for the freedom of the country. Every year various natural calamities hit the country, but Bangladesh moves ahead overcoming these disasters. It is true that we have many problems but all the problems can be solved if we do our duties sincerely.

A government's duty is to look after the welfare of the country and its people. But our government not only failed in this respect, but also created new problems. Realising that people are not happy with its performance, the ruling party has become desperate and are doing things which are more harmful for them and the people.

It is very easy to point fingers and start blaming the present government for their failures. But it is still very clear in my memory how the previous government failed and were voted out of power by the people.
