The Planning Minister feels the Finance Minister cannot deliver, and has described him as ‘an old man who talks rubbish’.
On Monday, Planning Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal, better known as Lotus Kamal, heaped scorn on Finance Minister AMA Muith in presence of mediapersons in the Planning Ministry’s media centre.
“He is an old man and often talks rubbish,” said Kamal.
The tirade continued.
“The finance minister presents a huge budget and nearly goes to sleep while presenting it. He can hardly implement the budget. We could do that if we got a chance.”
There have been reports of a growing spat between the two ministers over Annual Development Program (ADP) in the 2013-14 budget. The finance ministry appears to have turned down the level of allocation that the Planning Ministry was asking for.-bdnews24.com
