Ruling ally Workers Party chief Rashed Khan Menon has bashed the
government's actions in the last three years in no small terms.
At a discussion on Saturday he said the three years of Grand Alliance rule has been flooded with corruption and expropriation.
"The common man says the country is on the wrong track. When at the third anniversary we should be celebrating, we're hearing complaints from the people," he said.
"It brings my head down in shame, anger and grief," he said.
"We failed in so many things. We could not bring down the cartels. We were mired in corruption and an economy of exploitation," he said.
"This is not some newspaper poll. Wherever people gather we only hear of frustration and anger," he continued.
He blamed Awami League for the weakened fabric of the Grand Alliance, saying, "The Alliance's unity is now kept in deep freeze. It's impossible to play any effective role in the government."
Menon equally criticised the opposition, which he said was planning to create new anarchy in the country.
"We have already seen rehearsals of that," he added, pointing to the incidents on Dec 18 last year.
He criticised the government's power policy, saying the power rates had been hiked four times last year.
"Who will take the responsibility for the people burdened with rental power plants, all for the sake of raising power output?" he said.
He strongly criticised the failure to implement Chittagong Hill Tracts peace accord. In a remark slanted towards the prime minister, he said, "You can make an accord, win peace prizes for that but you cannot implement that accord. Then what is the difference between you and that leader [opposition leader]?"
The parliamentarian said the Alliance had failed to hold on to the mandate given by people.
"The victory achieved by the unity of people has been lost, and we must investigate how," he added.
