Agriculture Minister Dr M Abdur Razzak today said no caretaker government would be formed in the country in violation of the constitution.

"There will be fair and neutral elections in the country through the Election Commission as per the constitution and no election would be held under any caretaker government," he said.

"BNP is now an isolated party and afraid to participate in the election... They are trying to come to power by hatching conspiracy without participating in the elections" he said.

"But if they want to come to power, they have to participate in the polls and get the people's mandate," he added.

The minister said the way Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina stood by the poor, helpless and distressed people during the corona pandemic and provided food aid was unprecedented in the world.
