UNB, Dhaka :
BNP senior leader Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan on Friday termed the new budget for FY 2015-16 ‘fake one by a fake’ government.
“Were they people’s representative those who placed the budget? They came to power one and a half years back through a voter-less and fake election. They’ve no right to present the national budget,” he said.
Moyeen Khan, a BNP standing committee member, further said, “The current fake regime on (Thursday) presented the budget. So, it’s nothing but a fake budget. I think we don’t have any necessity to talk about it.”
The BNP leader came up with the remarks while addressing a discussion at the Jatiya Press Club. Jatiyatabadi Muktijoddha Projonmo Dal arranged the programme marking the 34th death anniversary of BNP founder late president Ziaur Rahman.
Earlier, on Thursday, Finance Minister AMA Muhith unveiled a Tk 2,95,100 crore proposed national budget for the 2015-16 fiscal year targeting to achieve a GDP growth rate of 7 percent.
Moyeen Khan alleged that there is no specific plan and guidelines in the proposed budget to alleviate poverty. “Many mega projects have been taken in the capital city, but about 80 percent people who live in rural areas have been ignored in the budget. Did you see any proposal was made in the budget to eradicate poverty?
