In Rajshahi, Awami League candidates face tough battles with independents in five out of six constituencies, with the focal point being Rajshahi-2 (city) and Rajshahi-6 (Charghat-Bagha) and Rajshahi-4 (Bagmara) due to intra-party rivalry and pre-polls violence.
At least four Awami League candidates in Rajshahi contesting the upcoming national polls with the “boat” symbol are facing hurdles to win the support of the party’s grassroots.
