NCP Convenor Nahid Islam has raised doubts over the promised "family cards" if the BNP forms the government, questioning whether benefits would actually reach ordinary citizens. "We are hearing about different cards -- family cards, farmer cards. We want these benefits to reach the people," he said at a Jamaat election rally in Mirpur, Dhaka. To get a Tk 2,000 card, will a Tk 1,000 bribe be needed? Those who promised flats so far have planned evictions and even set fires in slums.
