Jhenaidah Correspondent :
Three candidates from Sailkupa upazila in Jhenaidah have boycotted the UP polls. They brought allegation against the ruling party men and local administration because the ruling party men did not allow many polling agents of the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and a large number of the voters to enter the poling centres.
Not only that, the candidate of the ruling party Mokter Ahmed Mridha too boycotted the elections in Abaipur union under the same upazila.
The announcement was made in the presence of the members of Sailkupa Press Club at Kabirpur Government Primary School around 11.00 AM where three candidates and some of their upazila level leaders remained present. The chairman candidates were Nazrul Islam Joarder of Hakimpur union parishad, Abdul Bari Mollah of Dhalaharachandra union parishad and Abul Hossain of Manaharapur union parishad.
The BNP candidates said, the ruling party men did not allow any of their polling agents to enter any polling centre. Further, a major portion of the voters could not be present for casting their votes. The matter was informed to the election commission office and the local administration, but that could not bring any fruitful result for them, they alleged.
The BNP leaders said, there was no environment for holding polls in their areas as ruling party men have already created panic inside the polling centres as well as in the fields.
As there is no security of lives and properties of the leaders and voters in the areas, they have no alternatives than boycotting the polls from 10.30 AM on the day. Vice-president of Sailkupa BNP Amjad Hossain along with the three candidates were present during the press conference.
Locals of Harihara village under Hakimpur union parishad alleged that the ruling party candidate and the incumbent chairman’s supporters clubbed four of the BNP supporters at Harihara Government Primary School Centre at noon. The injured were sent to Sailkupa upazila health complex.
On the other hand, the ruling AL candidate Sabder Hossain Mollah’s men have beaten an activist of the independent candidate Mijanur Rahman Baul at Garaganj high school centre in the noon.
