Prime Minister and BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman stated that no product prices have increased following the newly announced national budget, despite higher taxes on alcohol and cigarettes. Speaking at a public rally in Cox’s Bazar’s Chakaria and during the inauguration of the Patli Canal re-excavation, he said taxes were reduced on 60 essential goods. He emphasized that the government’s policies aim to improve the lives of farmers, women, students, and low-income citizens.
Rahman announced plans to expand the Cox’s Bazar–Chattogram highway from four to six lanes and highlighted the government’s commitment to agricultural development. The re-excavation of Patli Canal is expected to benefit around 8,500 farmers and increase annual agricultural output by about 12,000 tons. He also said that 8,000–10,000 farmers in each district would receive agricultural cards with cash incentives.
The Prime Minister further announced initiatives for free higher education for women, expansion of stipends, and introduction of family cards to support rural households. He said special budget allocations were made for affordable healthcare and medicine supply in rural areas.
