BNP senior leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi claimed the interim government’s budget mirrors those under Sheikh Hasina, including the provision to legalize black money.

He criticized the silence of advisers when asked about election timelines and noted the declining focus on reforms. Rizvi also expressed disappointment over low allocations for health and education, arguing that the current budget favors corrupt elites and will worsen the financial pressure on the poor and middle classes.
