Election not acceptable to BNP: Khaleda

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia Tuesday midnight parliament election was not acceptable to the BNP as it was held as per a blueprint designed before the polls. After a meeting of the BNP standing committee at her Gulshan office, Khaleda said, "The blueprint we were talking about came into reality through the election results." Khaleda said it is noticeable that there are some leaders who have been getting elected time and again in the past with big margins are on the list of losers. "It's noticeable that 45 to 50 percent votes were cast by 12 noon and thereafter most of the polling centers were seen empty. But it was shown that about 90 percent votes were cast at those centers," she said, adding it was never ever seen such 'grand forgery of votes' in the past. In her apparent feet of anger, the former prime minister ridiculed the Chief Election Commissioner for holding such a "staged-managed election". She claimed that they have evidence too about how rigging took place. Khaleda said she herself visited many centers in the capital and found some centers without election officials. On her query, those who were present said that those officials went for saying prayers or lunch. Then she told them that there is no break for prayer or lunch. Then when she asked election officials about allegations from her party agents, the officials replied that they had rectified those. Khaleda said, "Through the implementation of this blueprint to open a way to reintroduce neo-Baksal in the country." The BNP chief said, "I would like to say with regret that despite our all efforts to switch over to democracy, the Election Commission has proved that this election has no acceptability by announcing the pre-fixed results of the elections." "Therefore, this election has not reflected the will of the people," Khaleda said, adding, "Under this circumstances, this farcical election is not acceptable to BNP." Khaleda refused to take questions from journalists saying that it is their primary observation about the elections. She said all her party candidates did not yet return to Dhaka and after receiving all information from them, "We'll let you know." BNP standing committee members Khandaker Delwar Hossain, M Saifur Rahman, Chowdhury Tanvir Ahmed Siddiqui, Dr Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, Advocate Khandaker Mahbub Uddin, M Shamsul Islam and Dr. R.
