Whatever anyone is saying, anywhere, the Election Commission has nothing to do with it. He said, if anyone had complained that a candidate was spending more before the release of the gazette, the commission would have investigated the matter and taken action.
However, Badiul Alam Majumdar, secretary of Shushasoner Jonno Nagorik (Shujaan), disagrees with the Election Commission. He said that the Commission has the right to take action against the concerned MLA for giving wrong information.
Badiul Alam Majumdar told Prothom Alo that the power of the Election Commission is very big, and they have nothing to do with the conduct of elections after the gazette comes out, but it is not like that. A candidate has given wrong information. The Election Commission has become a toothless institution. He said that they should take action against that MLA.
