People’s opinion will not be reflected: Fakhrul

Bringing various allegations in the elections to two city corporations in Dhaka, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said “People’s opinion will not be reflected in this election but we will wait until the results are announced.”

Fakhrul came up with his party’s instant reaction to the Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) and Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) polls while addressing a press conference at the Nayapaltan central office in the capital 4:45pm on Saturday.

He alleged that BNP agents were pulled out of the polling centres, voters were forced to go out of polling booths after taking their fingerprints and vote for a particular candidate.

The BNP leader also claimed that low turnout was noticed due to the threats made by the ruling party leaders before and during the elections.
