Instead of Awami League you should replace the term with BD politicians. WB suspended all funds under previous government in the communication sector due to massive corruption. They also scrappedd 10 small power plant project too. Netharland cancelled funding in river project due to Akbar's demand of bribe.

If say BNP comes to power, can you guarantee that there will be no corruption? I dont think so..

Ain't that obvious?

I doubt it will bring any drastic change in BD GDP instead a lot of worthless political project will be taken to apease the people in south and south west. There is nothing we have except Royal Bengal Tiger in that part of the country which can create much difference to the national economy.

I find it odd.

I remember that there was a lot of hype over the Jamuna Bridge project. And yet, nothing changed in the north of the country. No industry, nothing.

Couldn't say much about Padma though.

We need Padma bridge no doubt about it for quick communication and I am in favor of that. But creating hype where my objection lies. And also taking political project which drains most of our resources. For instance running a Gas pipeline from Eastern Region to Western Region has no value to me when we will run out of gas by 2015. They already made plan to install gas pipeline up to Khulna. How stupid these politicans gets? They even had plan to have airport in the western side of the Padma Bridge!!!!!!

They even screwed Samsung $1.2 billion dollar investment proposal by asking them to go to Khulna when they asked for land in Dhaka or Chittagong. We lost a huge opportunity there.

Can anyone with more local knowledge of Bangladesh explain just how much of an impact the Padma bridge would have to the
economy of Bangladesh?

According to ADB study Padma bridge will increase GDP by 1.2% By that count because of Awami League corruption Bangladesh already lost more than $2.5 billion of lost GDP.

Padma Bridge to boost GDP by 1.2pc: ADB

Asian Development Bank (ADB) has estimated that the rate of Bangladesh's gross domestic product (GDP) growth would increase by 1.2 per cent after completion of construction of the Padma Bridge, reports UNB.

Who said BNP will be in power next time? Who decided that? Jamuna Bridge was implemented during BNP tenure and there was no corruption. There was allegation of corruption against Mosharraf Hossain then state minister for energy on Niko for taking a jeep/SUV. BNP forced him to resign. That does not say there was no corruption during BNP. But nothing this important to nation and this colossal where Bangladesh already lost $2.5 billion of GDP for Awami League Padma bridge corruption. Dont try to live off shifting blame on someone who are not even there. Also don't play ignorant by saying there is no GDP boost by Padma bridge.

That would be Ershad I'm afraid.

The physical foundation was inaugurated by Khaleda Zia on 1994.

And far as corruption is concerned, I'm afraid things are very different now from before. Both parties have evolved into one of decadence.

^^^Ershad.....

Ershad initiated the pre built process, he deserve the credit as well. But physical work began and good part of it done during BNP tenure.

Implementation of Jamuna Bridge by BNP was a continuation of process, all foundation works were done during Ershad tenure. History of Jamuna Bridge construction:

Jamuna Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I still remember in our childhood we used to see an extra line "Jamuna Surcharge" in our electric bill copy, whole BD people had to take part in Jamuna Bridge fund this way (which added value to the Bangladesh borne fund), an initiative taken by Ershad. No bal/bnp govt. can take such step. Effort of making BNP a less corrupt political wing is fruitless, last term one of their leaders even made a mine using relief tin.

BNP has not been power for last 6 years. But according to your statement someone from BNP did tin churi that justifies Awami league relentless and colossal looting and destruction? Which planet do you live in? Because of your type Bangladesh lost at least $2.5 billion of GDP. 3 million investors lost everything. Bangladeshis are still paying for Awami League rental power plant. Awami league minister Suranjit caught red handed with bribe money yet awarded with minister position. You want to compare these to tin Churi? By the way what did Awami league do about these tin chor? Before Awami league Bangladesh has to get rid of people who try to justify Awami League acts.

You seem to having a tendency of jumping directly on personal judgement. Beforehand on a single comment on your quotes I had to know that I need to understand English first, I need to be permitted by you before commenting on strategic issues...lolz. Now you identified my type, good level of tolerance and ideal disciple of prince tareq . If you are really on a vision to identify me, just listen to me...it's not my type rather yours who are responsible for loss of billions on this land by supporting one of the thug associations. I don't support and advocate for any thug association which you do. It's really amazing to see that you compare bal with bnp keeping bnp on a standard who ascending on power 2 times could only establish one image...a thug association. Now, next term you'll vote for this bnp and they will exceed current bal govt. on the scale of corruption. It's race between these 2 thug associations and they are always on a mission to exceed previous govt. on corruption. Bangladesh needs to get rid of people who are biased..blindly support these two thugs associations irrespective of the consideration what they are doing for the people.

BTW, regarding Jamuna Bridge your comment on Ershad "he deserve the credit as well" applies to bnp and main credit goes to previous govt. who initiated all foundation works. Your bnp isn't capable of arranging such giant project on its own from the beginning. Thank god that time tareq wasn't that mature otherwise some of the spans of the bridge would have gone missing at the very beginning.

Now, next term you'll vote for this bnp and they will exceed current bal govt. on the scale of corruption. .

That lines gives away closet awami thugs you are. "bnp and they will exceed current bal govt. on the scale of corruption" is the type of bs Awami thugs tries to sell and justify Awami league looting and subservient activities. Besides, from where you got that BNP will be in power?? Show your justification. Awami League is in power for 3 and half years yet could not prove and punish those in BNP was corrupt, including Tareq. That tells you what?

Is it possible to build the bridge through bonds??I think its gonna be a good move if happens, whatsoever !!

Bond has 5% interest rate. Malaysian offer should be explored thoroughly. If Jaica and IDB stick to the funding, and another $1 billion from national budget, the rest could be from Malaysia which will drastically reduce the funding cost and the whole project cost.

Since, boltu posted big red banner, could you get answer for following questions?

1) Who are these people talking on behalf of millions of people?
2) Where they have been in last 7-8 years?
3 If they can fund the bridge why wasted 7-8 years, lost billions of dollars in GDP?
4) When Awami League regime looted billions from capital market, why would people trust any fund raising by Awami League?
5) What guarentee corrupt Awami league regime provide that these bond money will not be looted?

Corrupt Awami League regime trying to cover up their corruption by making this as funding issue. Funding is not the issue here, one way or another fund will be managed. Real problem is no one can trust corrupt Awami League regime with their money.
