Inefficient government


The situation prevailing in the country speaks out that it is an ineffective and inefficient government. Looting, killing, robbery, bomb blasts etc. are rampant in the country. Ten to twelve bomb blast incidents occurred in the country. But no real culprit has been brought to book. This indicates sheer inefficiency of the present government. The recent bomb blasts across the country amply prove that the law and order situation is precarious.

The government has utterly failed to handle other sectors also. The Industries and Factories are in a moribund condition. Approximately 50% Government Factories have been closed or are on the brink of closure due to wrong and unwise policies followed by this government. Unemployment, price hike, load-shedding, acute shortage of water and gas are examples of the problems that people are facing. The solution to the above mentioned issues and problems should be figured out as soon as possible.

Agriculture is the mainstay or Bangladesh. The vast majority of the population of the country directly or indirectly depend on agriculture but it is deplorable that due attention has not been paid to this most important sector. The government should adopt the latest technique of cultivation to grow more food with the collaboration of developed countries. Due incentives and interest free loan should be given to the poor farmers.

The present budget is not up to the mark. It is not a people-oriented budget. It does not reflect people's hopes, needs and aspirations. Furthermore, it is a pro-rich budget. Fixed income groups and poor people are adversely affected.
