BNP leader Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury has promised that his party will create jobs for 10 million people within 18 months if voted into power. "Our top priority will be the IT sector," he said, adding that young people with at least an SSC qualification would be given employment opportunities in technology.
He also emphasized the need to keep politics and business separate, stating that the BNP would work to eliminate fascism and promote economic reforms. Khasru added that investors in agriculture would be supported and that there are plans to increase agricultural exports.
"Bangladesh’s economic creativity has been destroyed over the past 17 years. We can’t go back to old-style politics—people's expectations have evolved," he concluded.
