 The way DMs, SDMs and BDOs are being coerced to ensure attendance of beneficiaries in the meeting, is very objectionable in poll bound state, said Chowdhury and added that Prime Minister of the country can visit anywhere of the country any time, but the way state administration has been using for political gain it’s a total unwanted.

‘The way government machinery has been used by the ruling party to convert the PM’s programme into a mass rally , reflects the weakness of the ruling party, as the majority of the people are not supporting the ruling party,’ said Chowdhury.
