The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) is poised for a significant electoral victory as opinion polls indicate 70% support, largely fueled by the sympathy surrounding the late Khaleda Zia and the return of her son, Tarique Rahman. In contrast, the Jamaat-e-Islami’s popularity has dwindled to 19%, reflecting a public rejection of its violent tactics and alleged ties to the ISI. As political tensions rise, particularly with escalating violence against minorities, India remains vigilant, hoping for a stable BNP-led government that could foster better bilateral relations. Intelligence officials caution that the Jamaat-ISI nexus may incite chaos to delay the elections, underscoring the precarious political landscape in Bangladesh.
