Independent candidate and former BNP convener of Faridganj upazila, MA Hannan, alleged that his party failed to value his long-standing dedication and instead favored what he termed a 'fascist’s associate.' Speaking at a rally on January 31 at Faridganj bus stand after a campaign procession for his shrimp symbol, he said the people had made him a rebel candidate for the Chandpur-4 constituency. Hannan claimed that despite facing imprisonment and persecution, he never left the party.

He further accused a vested quarter of instigating attacks on his supporters, vandalizing campaign camps, and intimidating voters. Hannan said he sought justice from the administration but received none. He warned that fascist behavior would only intensify rebellion and worsen the situation. He also alleged that his BNP nomination was 'stolen' through collusion with the Awami League and criticized the current BNP candidate for previously contesting as an independent.

Hannan urged law enforcement and relevant authorities to ensure a peaceful and fair election environment in Faridganj.
