Hunger-free Bangladesh first

The people of Bangladesh voted the AL to power hoping that they would get at least three square meals, not for having a digital Bangladesh. But the reality is different. The prices of the necessary commodities have increased so much that now it seems that sky is the limit. The government has totally failed to control the price hike and is trying to compensate by saying that the prices of necessary commodities are much higher in the neighbouring countries! Possibly they mistakenly wrote in their election manifesto that they would feed people rice at Taka.10/- per kg! On the other hand, interestingly enough, the prices of shares are decreasing alarmingly. If this trend continues, common people like us would not have any other option left other than committing suicide. The people of Bangladesh don't bother whether the country is digital or analogue, instead they demand very little from the government. They want to get relief from the curse of hunger. We know that 'a hungry man is an angry man.' It will be impossible for the government to remain in power if the hungry people of Bangladesh become angry.
