Democracy of two parties?

A few days ago I attended a seminar where one of the speakers who is a teacher of Dhaka University of IR department specified some basic criteria of a successful leader and one of the criteria is to understand human nature. In this part our leaders are experts as they know the people of Bangladesh are mostly illiterate, so let's keep them in darkness for as many days as possible. I don't wish to go any further regarding this area.

And I was reading the heading and one of the titles caught my attention and while going on rickshaw I read the whole report, thanks to the traffic jam of Dhaka city and felt a little pain in my heart really. When we have nothing to do, our very pious leaders are fighting each other to save people's rights or constitution, simultaneously they are trying to hide their personal key information. It's crystal clear that both the big parties are taciturn about the verity because they know people will throw out their candidates if they are able to know that many of the candidates have a hazy background. In my view politicians of Bangladesh are still fortunate to get votes and the day is not so far away when people will abstain from casting their ballot and it will be ridiculous when enrolment of voters to the centres will be so much stumpy that to the western countries, which are more ardent about our democracy than ourselves, it would be not accepted. If there were an option to cast ballot in a 'NO' symbol, I think people would have chosen that. By the way, I don't know whether I should comment on the stay order of the Supreme Court on the High Court verdict ordering the Election Commission to collect and make public some vital information. But I can't tame myself to tell that it's a hold up to our democracy. As a voter of a democratic country it's my right to know about the candidate whom I will choose as my representative to the parliament. There is a common slogan for a candidate that "omuk bhai-r charitro fuler moto pobitro"(the character of that brother is as sacred as flower) and if they are so much pure then why they are afraid of disclosing their personal information. It's our ill fortune that most people are still illiterate and they can be easily cajoled to cast their votes for this kind of corrupt politicians who are not only harmful for democracy but also for mass people since these very politicians can sell the country if possible.

My rickshaw-puller is above sixty years old and a freedom fighter who dreamt in his youth that one-day oppressors would go but now in his dream country he observes that new oppressors have come and that's why he is still a rickshaw-puller after 35 years of liberation war; to him democracy is nothing but an occasion of vote.
