BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Monday said the hikes in the price of commodities have left the country’s people in the lurch, UNB reported.
"They (government) have not only destroyed the politics of Bangladesh but also destroyed the economy by ruling the country like a monster in the last 15 years… What is the condition of commodity prices? There's no peace in any house,” he said.
Speaking at a discussion, he also said the prices of gas, electricity, vegetables, rice, and other essential goods have soared in a way that it is impossible now to manage necessary food to eat.
“It’s unbelievable. People now can’t afford milk and eggs for their kids. The price of per kg of beef is Tk 800 while a bottle gourd is Tk 120. This is the situation,” he observed.
Jatiyatabadi Mohila Dal organized the program at the Jatiya Press Club, marking the 43rd death anniversary of BNP founder Ziaur Rahman.
