Noakhali-3 Member of Parliament Barkatullah Bulu stated that prices of essential commodities have begun to decline since the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) came to power. He made the remarks on Monday night in Begumganj while distributing iftar items among underprivileged people. According to Bulu, the price of LPG gas, which had risen to 2,200–2,300 taka, has now dropped to around 1,280 taka.

Bulu said that all commodity prices would gradually come under control, citing BNP’s past experience in state governance. He added that Prime Minister Tarique Rahman would lead the country based on that experience. During the event, Bulu announced plans to distribute iftar items worth 3.2 million taka among 5,000 marginalized people across Begumganj and later distribute Eid items.

He urged wealthy residents of Begumganj to support the poor during Ramadan so that everyone could break their fast comfortably. Several local BNP leaders and activists were present at the event.
