People's purchasing capacity has increased: Tazul
Cumilla Correspondent
Local Government, Rural Development and Co-operatives Minister Md Tazul Islam on Friday said Bangladesh has experienced unprecedented economic growth in the past 15 years under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and thus the purchasing capacity of the country’s people has increased.
“The countrymen are doing fine and relatively in good condition despite the global economic crisis,” he said while addressing an Eid reunion programme in Cumilla.
There is no shortage of food and the country has witnessed 100% electrification along with a revolutionary change in the road communication system, the minister said.
Speaking on the issue of the upcoming upazila parishad polls, Tazul said there is an opportunity now to check the popularity of contenders who belong to the Awami League as the party is not nominating any candidates in the elections.
Anyone from the party and its associate bodies can contest the polls, but he/she must refrain from speaking ill of other candidates of the party, he added.
