Bikalpa Dhara chief and former president AQM Bodruddoza Chowdhury wants a caretaker government to oversee the next general election.

His call came on Sunday while addressing a youth rally at Dhaka’s Banani.

“Dissolve Parliament and bring back the caretaker government before the elections,” Chowdhury, who leads a political coalition the Jukto Front, said.

A change in Bangladesh is imminent and no one can stop it, he said.

“The government boasts of development. Flyovers are their benchmark of development. But there’s no democracy. We want that as well as development.”

Last month, Chowdhury’s Jukto Front forged a ‘greater national unity’ with the Jatiya Oikya Prokriya, a lose political platform led by Gano Forum chief and senior lawyer Dr Kamal Hossain.

The BNP is in talks with joining them, but Bikalpa Dhara has made it clear that the party has to ditch its long-time trusted ally Jamaat-e-Islami if it wants an alliance.
