BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir alleged that the Awami League goverment has hiked prices of everything. 

"They have increased the power tariff once again. How much more? There is not a single thing that's price has not been increased. But the public's salary has not been increased. Only the ruling party has made their fortune," said Fakhrul while addressing BNP's divisional rally in Cumilla on Saturday (26 November).

Fakhrul also claimed that some Tk86 lakh crore have been smuggled out of the country in the last 10 years, keeping the question of who was in power during the said period. 

No one in the country gets justice, he added. 

"They have filed cases against all, just the way Khaleda Zia was imprisoned and Tarique Rahman was sued. They have imprisoned the whole country."

Reiterating BNP's stance on the election, Fakhrul said, "The Awami League came to power in 2014 by stealing votes and in 2018 by stuffing ballot boxes the night before the election. They are contemplating to hold the next election the same way. But this time it will not be allowed to happen."

He said a new election commission has to be formed under a neutral government, adding, "No one will join elections without a neutral government."

Referring to the depleting reserves, Fakhrul said, "The government itself has eaten up the reserves not by chewing but swallowing."
