Grabbing local politics?
I would like to thank Mr. M.A.S. Molla for his article enitled “Political psyche against upazila polls” (Aug. 14, 2008). I completely agree with him. However, I want to add one more point. This is the politics of grabbing the local politics by some central leaders. Bypassing the local party members' choice, they want to nominate personally over-loyal local leaders for the upazila elections. We remember the very recent event of nominating the candidate for Rajshahi Mayoral election. Actually, the present central leaders are the barriers. They are not willing to practise democracy. That is why, during the last four decades, the natural progress of our democratic leadership has been in decline.
