GOP leader Rashed Khan criticized the interim government's proposed budget, stating that it mirrors the practices of previous regimes, including a deficit of Tk 2.26 trillion. He said, “Once again, the budget leans heavily on foreign dependency.”

He condemned the provision allowing black money to be legalized through real estate purchases and construction, calling it unconstitutional and unjust. However, he welcomed the allocation of Tk 405 crore for victims and martyrs of the July uprising. Khan expressed doubts about whether this fund will be used appropriately and warned that new currency printing could worsen inflation.
