Badruddoza said the BNP-Jamaat coalition government is appointing their men to the EC and the administration so that it can go to power again through vote-rigging. The present crisis over dialogue on reforms can be resolved easily if it is held between the chiefs or the general secretaries of the ruling party and the opposition, he said, adding that but the ruling party is dillydallying on the issue of reforms. But the people will not accept any elections without implementation of reforms, he warned. Secretary General of BDB Maj. (retd.)
