CTG's job
The caretaker government is undoubtedly the best regime Bangladesh has ever experienced. But there are many drawbacks of this government.
There are many things that the government should take care of. I, as a citizen of Bangladesh, do feel that the caretaker government should do the following things:
There was a recent incident, the demolition of Rangs Bhaban. The demolition of this building will not give any benefit to the people, rather, the expenditure on the part of the government will increase which will penalise the taxpayers in the form of higher tax burden. The government will require a huge amount of money to demolish this building. They also have a plan to build new roads which will aggravate the situation. Since the demand for road space is inelastic, this new road that will be built will again get congested and the whole traffic system may get disrupted. On top of that, there will be an increase in the level of government expenditure in building new roads which again may affect the taxpayers.
It is a good sign that the government is arresting all the corrupt people.
But I have a question. Will the economy attain stability if the government continues arresting these people?
The people keep complaining about the higher prices of goods and services. Subsidising the local producers will reduce the costs of production, leading to a fall in the price level. This will increase the living standard of general people and hence they will be benefited. Higher inflation will affect the low income households and the country will also lose international competitiveness leading to exhaustion of the foreign reserves.
As far as I have seen, the government is not doing any of these and this will aggravate the condition of the economy to a large extent. Since our country is not in a strong position, the government should take some wise steps that would benefit the people.
