Talking to UNB over phone Wednesday, he said BNP first missed the bus by not submitting their suggestion about the interim government at the parliamentary committee and again by not placing their formula in parliament when the 15th amendment to the constitution was passed.
Replying to a question, Suranjit said that according to the 15th amendment, the cabinet before the next general elections will be functioning as interim cabinet.
Asked if the interim cabinet could be constituted with elected representatives of all parties to give it a caretaker shape, he said it is too early to say about what would be the character of that cabinet.
On Tuesday, Awami League (AL) general secretary Syed Ashraful Islam said it is possible to discuss and resolve the caretaker issue in line with the constitution and the Supreme Court (SC) verdict.
Suranjit, also a member of the AL advisory council, however, said the issue at hand is how to work out a neutral, powerful election commission, and the President is holding political dialogue on it.
It is important to establish a strong election commission (EC) that would conduct the elections, he said, adding that according to the law, the entire administration would be placed under the EC at the time of the election.
He rejected BNP's observation that government conducts the elections.
Asked if still there is room for understanding on the pre-election interim government, Suranjit said: "Definitely, there are thousands of options. Let the BNP come to parliament and place their suggestions."
