Political interference in local govt. polls
Local government is the foundation of democracy. The inhabitants of an area are supposed to elect their representative to solve the local problems. We are observing with much concern that political parties are interfering in the city corporation election in Gazipur. The same thing happened in all the city corporation elections violating electoral code of conduct. We saw the ministers, MPs, and other senior leaders campaigning for the candidates, giving instructions and even supplying them with logistic supports. If this trend continues, democracy will exist only in the speech of politicians.
