Dhaka, Oct 26 (UNB) - BNP joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Wednesday alleged that the government is conspiring to manipulate the results of the Narayanganj City Corporation (NCC) elections through terrorism and police.

He said that despite their demand to withdraw the two police officials, authorities concerned did not take any action.
Rizvi hoped that the BNP-backed mayor candidate Taimiur Alam Khandaker would win the NCC election. “We are suspecting rigging in the NCC election, but at the same time we are also confident about people’s support,” he said.
