National Citizen Party (NCP) spokesperson Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan said that the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has turned into an unpopular government because of its organizational inefficiency and political disorder. He made the remarks on Saturday afternoon at the NCP’s Eid reunion event held at Deshpriyo Convention Hall in Cumilla, where he was the chief guest.

Asif Mahmud stated that before elections, BNP used to claim that all problems would be solved once an elected government came to power, but under its rule, issues such as killings, assaults, and protests have increased. He criticized the rising prices of daily commodities, electricity, and gas, noting that prices have surged more in the last three months than in the previous seventeen years. He added that BNP had promised no price hikes for two years but failed to keep that pledge.

Discussing NCP’s activities, Asif Mahmud said the party has emerged as the country’s third political force and has already prepared a shadow budget. He announced that NCP is preparing to participate in upcoming elections expected to take place in several phases by winter.
