Raushan, Ershad differ on budget

Opposition chief Raushan Ershad, who had so far kept her conflict with HM Ershad well under wraps, has made it public through her budget reaction.
Jatiya Party chief Ershad had dubbed the proposed budget ‘unrealistic’ but Raushon said three days later the party was yet to analyse the budget proposals.
At a news conference  Saturday Ershad had said he was giving the reaction to the budget on behalf of his wife Raushon, according to a news agency.
But Opposition Leader Raushon rejected Ershad’s statement Tuesday, saying he had held the news conference to give his reaction as the chief of the Jatiya Party.
Party secretary general and MP Ziauddin Bablu was present at Ershad’s press meet but was not seen in Tuesday’s event.
Raushon was accompanied by her political secretary Golam Mosih, who joined the Jatiya Party faction led by Kazi Zafar Ahmed after Ershad expelled him from the main party.
Opposition chief whip Tajul Islam was also present at Jatiya Party presidium member Raushan’s press conference.
