The poor potato growers
Agriculture Minister Matia Choudhury said on the occasion of Agriculturist Day 2014 at Agriculture Institution Hall on Thursday in the capital, “we have come to power through an election and so we do not fear from anybody’s piercing look”. We really do appreciate her courage. But was it an election? When Prime minister Sheikh Hasina, President Abdul Hamid Advocate along with more than fifty percent people from the existing voters had no right to give his/her vote in 153 constituencies and rest of the constituencies had had one sided election.
On the other hand, we do not hear any voice of Matia or any minister including the prime minister regarding helping the farmers of potato producers when farmers are showing their plight everyday by blocking roads spreading potatoes on it.
