BNP on Thursday rejected the proposed national budget for 2018-19 fiscal year, describing it as an anti-people one.

Two BNP senior leaders –- Khandakar Mosharraf Hossain and Barrister Moudud Ahmed -- came up with the reaction after Finance Minister AMA Muhith placed the 464,573-crore new budget in Parliament.

“This budget is not in people’s interest. The government has placed a loan-dependent budget which will increase the loan burden on people. I think the budget will come in no use of people. We’re rejecting this budget,” Mosharraf said.
