The proposed Tk 1.917-trillion national budget for 2012-13 fiscal will deepen economic crisis and discrimination between rich and poor, BNP has said.
BNP Standing Committee Member M K Anwar came up with the party's formal reaction to the proposed budget at a press conference at party chairperson's political office in Gulshan on Monday.
He also said that the budget proposals highlighted hopes and aspirations for masses, but it did not mention any specific way for their implementation.
"None of the government's targets will be achieved [in the proposed budget]. As a result, the discrimination between the poor and rich will deepen further. The inflation will also not come down."
On June 7, Finance Minister AMA Muhith placed the budget in parliament for the next fiscal projecting a 7.2 percent GDP growth amid the boycott by the opposition. The proposed budget is scheduled to be passed on June 28.
A former agriculture minister himself, Anwar termed corruption and lack of good governance as main obstacles to development.
He said though the size of the budget is not too big compared to the necessity of the country, it would be very difficult to implement it due to its poor ability to finance, incompetent administration and lack of political goodwill.
He stressed the need for political stability for implementation of the budget and overcome the economic challenges.
