The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has recently secured a two-thirds majority in the parliamentary elections, signaling a major shift in the country’s political landscape. Following the win, preparations for forming a new government have intensified, with Tarique Rahman expected to take the oath of office within the next few days. The anticipated inauguration is set for either February 16 or 17. The political developments in Bangladesh are being closely monitored by India, as the new government could reshape the dynamics between the two neighbors.

Aaj Tak conducted exclusive interviews with two advisors to Tarique Rahman, Ziauddin Haider and Humayun Kabir, who shed light on what the new Bangladesh might look like under BNP leadership. The advisors reiterated their commitment to maintaining and potentially strengthening the diplomatic ties with India. They highlighted the importance of fruitful dialogue in enhancing cooperation between the two nations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also reached out to congratulate Rahman, marking a positive step in bilateral relations.

The discussions between Aaj Tak and the BNP advisors emphasize the significance of India’s role in Bangladesh's future. With both countries having historically shared ties rooted in culture and politics, the potential for renewed collaboration presents an opportunity for economic development and regional stability. Leaders from both nations are hopeful that the new government will prioritize constructive engagement to further strengthen their bilateral relations, crucial for both countries’ interests in the region.
