Agriculture Minister Dr Md Abdur Razzaque said BNP will join the next national polls eventually for the sake of their existence as a political party.
"BNP's existence will disappear if they don't participate in the upcoming national election. The next election will also be according to the constitution of the country. We will make an effort to bring them to the election,” the minister said.
“BNP would eventually take part in the polls at some stage for the sake of their existence,” the agriculture minister made the remarks during a program on Saturday in Tangail.
Razzaque said: "People are very happy to see the unprecedented development of the country under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The goal of independence was to build a developed country free from hunger and poverty, and the country is moving towards that goal. Therefore, the people of the country will bring Sheikh Hasina to power again.”
On increasing prices of poultry chicken, he told reporters that poultry traders, farmers, and enterprises were enduring losses for a long period since the beginning of the Covid pandemic. For the last two months of this year, the price of chicken has unexpectedly increased. Even root level farmers reportedly do not receive the fair price of agri products.
“I will raise this matter in the highest policy-making forum of the government. We need to formulate a policy through which the price of poultry can be kept affordable so that people with limited income can afford it and at the same time traders, farmers and entrepreneurs could get benefited,” the minister further said.
