Haji Aminur Rashid Yasin, adviser to the BNP chairperson, has been appointed minister for agriculture, food, and fisheries and livestock. He took oath on Tuesday evening at the South Plaza of the National Parliament, administered by President Md. Shahabuddin. Yasin, a former MP from Cumilla-9, received the position under the technocrat quota despite not being an elected member of parliament.
In a phone interview, Yasin said the three ministries are interrelated and that improving agriculture is key to strengthening Bangladesh’s economy. He emphasized that 70 percent of the population depends on agriculture and that better agricultural performance would improve living standards. He expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Tarique Rahman for entrusting him with the responsibility and vowed to work hard to fulfill expectations.
Yasin previously served in various BNP leadership roles and withdrew his independent candidacy for Cumilla-6 at Rahman’s request to support the party’s nominee. Observers believe his loyalty and long service to the party led to his ministerial appointment.
