Jatiya Party`s mayoral candidate for Sylhet City Corporation election, Nazrul Islam Babul, has alleged that Bangladesh Chhatra League and Jubo League men are booting out agents for the ‘plough’ symbol from various centres, reports UNB.
“I have been getting repeated calls from different centres that ‘plough’ agents are being thrown out from centres and not allowed to enter many centres,” he said.
He made the allegation while talking to reporters after casting his vote at Ananda Niketan School in the city at 9:30 am on Wednesday (June 21, 2023).
“I have been saying from the beginning that attempts are being made to influence the election. I have come to cast my vote at Ananda Niketan School. Muscle strength is being demonstrated here,” he said.
“I just got the news that all the agents of ‘plough’ have been booted from Sylhet Government Pilot High School centre by the goons of Chhatra League and Jubo League. I strongly condemn this. I`m going to the centre right now. I will file a written complaint with the Election Commission,” said the Jatiya Party leader.
"The EVM did not work for an hour in the morning. It could also be part of the plot. The Election Commission, the administration, and the returning officers are all in the pockets of the ‘boat’ candidate,” he added.
