BNP candidate Ahmed Azam Khan from Tangail-8 (Basail–Sakhipur) has alleged that his party workers are being threatened at gunpoint and that an independent candidate is attempting to disrupt the electoral environment. He made the allegations on Saturday night while speaking to journalists during a campaign event near a temple area in Naluya Bazar, Sakhipur upazila.

Khan claimed that the independent candidate brought in armed outsiders to intimidate locals and create unrest, accusing him of trying to buy votes with large sums of money through mobile transactions, which he said violates the electoral code of conduct. He also expressed frustration with the administration, alleging biased behavior and inaction despite repeated complaints. According to him, several BNP campaign camps have been vandalized and set on fire.

The BNP candidate urged authorities to identify and take legal action against those allegedly bringing in thousands of garment workers to influence the election atmosphere, warning that continued disorder would make the administration responsible for any consequences.
