‘BNP the plunderer’
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said saving power and fuel oil does not mean that there had been looting in the sector.
"Rather, BNP plundered during their regime. After coming to power, we stopped that indiscriminate looting and developed the country," she said.
The PM said this while inaugurating a blood donation programme arranged by the Bangladesh Krishak League in front of Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi-32.
She joined the programme virtually from her official residence Gono Bhaban.
Krishak League arranged the programme and discussion as part of the month-long programme of Awami League and its associate organisations to mark National Mourning Day.
Hasina slammed BNP for staging hurricane lamp protest against government's power saving measures.
"BNP leaders are holding demonstrations with hurricane lamps. Let's give them hurricane lamps to carry, and show them the door," the premier said.
The PM said all countries across the globe have been gone for austerity in power and fuel oil in the wake of worldwide crisis due to Russia-Ukraine war.
"Keeping that in mind we are maintaining austerity," she added.
She also said the present government upgraded the power sector with the capability of producing 24,000MW from only 3,500MW.
