We are giving electricity to the people at a lower price than the cost of production. '
Regarding Padma Bridge, he said, the work of Padma bridge but the caretaker government did not. After independence, the initial initiative for the construction of this bridge was taken in Japan. Zia stopped coming. Khaleda Zia also closed. When we came to power, we decided to construct the railway not only the roads but also the Padma bridge. We have won the Padma bridge by challenging the allegations of corruption, we are doing Padma bridge with our own funding. Could have made the bridge easier. It would have been faster if the flat design was done, but it took a while because we're doing double-decking bridges. Our plan is to get the railway line up to the Padua bridge by Padra bridge. He said that the Jamuna bridge had to be given one and a half times to acquire land, three times in the Padma bridge. The project looks more like money for this.
