17. Critical Assessment of Budget
“The new budget is completely unrealistic,”
-Mirza Azizul Islam, a former finance adviser to a caretaker
government.
“What type of economic policy is it that we can increase the
perquisite benefit for the rich but won't give protection to the
incomes of the poor? It is not acceptable to us.”
-Bhattacharya, distinguished fellow of the CPD.
