Independent candidate and expelled BNP international affairs secretary Rumin Farhana has alleged that plans are being made to cast votes the night before and seal polling centers in several areas of Sarail upazila under the Brahmanbaria-2 constituency. She made the allegation on Thursday afternoon during a courtyard meeting at Alinagar Government Primary School field in Sarail’s 7th ward, urging her supporters to guard the polling centers.

During the meeting, Farhana pledged to establish municipalities in Sarail and Ashuganj if elected, ensure quality healthcare at the upazila health complex, and improve roads, schools, mosques, and madrasas. She also vowed to remain uncompromising in demanding that Brahmanbaria’s gas be used locally. Addressing voters emotionally, she said she had left her ailing mother in Dhaka and placed her trust in the people of the constituency.

Rumin Farhana is contesting as an independent candidate in Brahmanbaria-2, where the BNP-led alliance has nominated Maulana Junaid Al Habib of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Bangladesh. Farhana was expelled from the BNP on December 30.
