Talking about BNP which did not participate in the election, she questioned how will they come to the election.  “In 2008 election BNP with their 20 party alliance got 30 seats only while AL alone bagged 233 seats,” she added. That election was held under a neutral caretaker government. In this connection, she mentioned that many people thought in 2008 that BNP is equal to Awami League considering the organisational strength.  “But it was proved wrong in 2008 election,” she said.
