Jatiya Party’s chief patron and opposition leader in parliament Raushan Ershad has announced not to participate in the polls as the party has undermined her.

Raushan made the announcement following a meeting with her supporters on Wednesday night in a written speech.

“I took part in the general elections in 2014 and 2018 for the sake of the country and democracy.  I welcomed announcement of election this time and prepared to join the polls.” She said.

Raushan claimed many tested leaders-activists were deprived due to non-cooperation from JaPa chairman GM Quader and secretary general Mujibul Haque.

“I cannot take part in the election as leaders of party were undermined,” Raushan added.
