Next Election? Winner?

NEW DELHI: With Bangladesh set to go to polls next year, India has reached out to the opposition leader and BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia by inviting her to visit New Delhi next week. Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Pankaj Saran, met Zia in Dhaka to discuss her engagements for her week-long visit to India.

Zia is expected to meet President Pranab Mukherjee on October 28. The date for her meeting with PM Manmohan Singh is being finalized. She is also expected to visit Ajmer.

While the BNP has always been known for its anti-India stance, New Delhi knows that it is imperative to at least make an attempt to mend fences with her in the run up to the general elections slated to be held next year. The BNP, known for its links with Pakistan, has of late been looking to make new friends in the region.

India has managed to add some substance to its relations with Bangladesh during the ongoing tenure of the government led by Awami League's Sheikh Hasina — most notably concluding a land boundary agreement — but it knows that ties with BNP are crucial to make this process irreversible.

We are just buying both. It's good to have Khaleda on board too. Tariq Zia will be the happiest person.
 
Zindabad is a nationalist term in BD, it is connected with little bit Islamism also! Awamileague supporters use Joy Bangla / Joy Hasina kinda like Jay Hind.

Islamism with Zindabad? Inquilab Zindabad was first used in Kolkata in a labour strike, albeit by a Moulana who was nothing like the sort of people you'd admire. Later it was mainly used by Indian independence activists(terrorists in your parlance).
 
In a way, both AL and BNP copy us. AL copied our Jay Hind slogan while BNP copied Inquilab Zindabad. Very innovative Bangladesh. :tup:
 
If election is free and fair then bNP. If India meddles and sends next bag loads of cash then bal. however if bal wins they wont survive a year due to a military coup backed by popular sentiments.I am hoping bal wins so the mujib dynasty can be eliminated once and for all.

@ We are moving towards "Cassendra Crossing".
