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.
"Scissors", not "boat", is the election symbol of the Rajshahi city unit of Awami League for the Rajshahi-2 constituency in the upcoming national elections, the city unit AL president Mohammad Ali Kamal said yesterday.
