How come this DrM commented like that? Didn’t he worked as the PM for 22 years plus 22 months? Did he made any improvements then?

As far as i remember, Tun M was the one who start this contract system. The current government only continue your previous plan. Tun M, this is your failure. Failure to plan. Failure to be a good leader. Hartal is the complication of your failure.

Ask him how did the country reach this state ? He will be in a state of denial.
