BNP candidate for Moulvibazar-3 constituency, M Naser Rahman, announced that he will introduce a bill in parliament to ensure the rights of tea workers if elected. Speaking at an election rally on Friday evening at the Nach Mandir in Rajnagar Tea Garden, he said that under a BNP government, women from tea worker families would receive a family card providing essential goods worth about Tk2,500 per month. He also pledged to raise the daily wage of tea workers to Tk245, aligning with international standards.
Rahman recalled that tea workers’ daily wages had once been only Tk35, which was raised to Tk120 during the governments of former finance minister M Saifur Rahman and former prime minister Khaleda Zia. He criticized the current government for increasing wages by only Tk50 over fifteen years. Addressing the workers, he urged them to support the BNP’s symbol in the upcoming February 12 national election.
He emphasized that the BNP has always worked for tea workers and promised to continue efforts to improve their wages and benefits through legislative initiatives if elected.
