From one party to one person: What was de facto is now de jure

We congratulate Sheikh Hasina for winning her fifth term as the top head of state, and fourth consecutively - the longest in our experience set. Today, in Bangladesh, everything revolves around him, which is a declaration of his power and how the base is run. From strategies to plans and their execution, from large-scale to miniature, from master plans to momentary nuances, from dabbling with flyovers to conserving green bean stew — everything has to have his immediate approval without getting bogged down in administrative mazes. All the mega projects and their smooth execution can be credited to him. There is a story that the pioneer of the fire unit group, while dousing a fire in a skyscraper in Dhaka, was caught on television pointing out the Prime Minister's immediate instructions by which he and his group had the option of controlling the fire. If it is valid, it is a picture of his unlimited power, the fantastic degree of his beneficence and absolute supremacy over all things.


According to his allies, this was deservedly because no other person before him had achieved as certain a change in Bangladesh as he did, not without establishing it.

The most recent political contest is yet another example of total oversight of major occasions in any vote-based system, facilitated by the blacklisting of resistance, which has allowed Hasina a complete free hand. It was to all intents and purposes without a hitch on the day of the final vote, because everything was done so quickly. The BNP has shown itself completely unprepared to understand Sheikh Hasina's necessary rationale and careful preparation and cares little about the heavy price they will pay both short and long for their blacklisting. Hasina's nationalistic card game was striking and brilliant, and her handling of it with great energy was masterful. Welcoming China and India into full agreement to support him is something that local and global pioneers can benefit from.

As far as Sheikh Hasina's command of everything goes, the survey results tell a story that nothing else could. The Awami Association (AL) won 222 seats, and 62 seats were won by "rebels", of which 58 were long-standing Awami-League and supported by the party. Jatiya Party won 11 seats on behalf of A.League. A further two seats were won by 14-party union figures as a result of the extent to which the Awami League has indulged in using "boats" as their political race image. Thus, out of the 298 seats where the results were announced, 293 were either won by the actual A.L.I. or it was "supported" or "favored". If we add the 50 seats for women, most of which will go to the Awami League, Hasina can count at least 45 without much restriction, making a total of 338 MPs. 350's place. At what point can it be labeled as something besides one-party rule? This may very well be an example of seeking success to one's advantage, as such aggressive group power has its own inherent weaknesses.

Of the 28 ideological groups that participated in the political decision, 23 did not win a single seat, each of them lost their "stores" that they had no open support. They were brought into the fray to climb the amount of gatherings joining political contests only to claim that surveys were challenged by many gatherings.


The main party that could have checked the A.L. in any significant way - the BNP - was hit so hard, and so widely spread, that when the opportunity came to survey, it was police action, huge cases, fast-track convictions and widespread destruction. becomes The party said 13,424 BNP vanguard activists were detained till the day of the terror final polls. It likewise ensured that 499 cases were closed, 52,342 persons were entrapped as their names were remembered for Original Data Reports (FIRs). The way BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakrul Islam Alamgir, who deserves praise across the political spectrum, has been in jail since October 29 and has been denied bail multiple times - even last Wednesday - says it all.


Be that as it may, BNP's method of boycotting its own political decisions, which we consider self-destructive, has further added to its minimization.

The main result of this political competition is the development of Sheikh Hasina as the unrivaled head of the country. He has been so for a long time now, yet the most recent political decisions have greatly consolidated that position. What was true is now by law.


Since his return from exile in India in 1982, he has been consolidating his power - first within the party and then within the government authorities - by politicizing administrators, policing, organization as a whole and the massive transport of facilities and offices, ultimately the nation as a whole, any resistance. and made him its principal chief, completely dismissing non-radical disputes.


The result of the political contest of January 7 is that there is certainly not a single person from Parliament, except a few, who does not owe his enrolment. Sangsad, which was something of an elastic stamp on his tactics, will now be more and will not address any party other than the Awami League and will not mirror the voice of anyone other than his. In the last parliament, BNP had seven MPs who criticized the government authorities whenever they got the chance. Nevertheless, in this one, even that level of rigor will be absent. It will be a chorale as far as possible.

Crazy as it may sound, Sheikh Hasina's victory is so complete that she should decide who will be the head of the opposition in Parliament. At the moment, the largest assembly other than the Awami League consists of so-called "rebels", all of whom must return to the party. Perhaps Sheikh Hasina can convince them to form a "resistance" and dictate from behind. As a result, he will be on the right side of the House and head of resistance. An unimaginable success with infinite risk - Parliament becoming a complete handmaiden and a majority rule government being put on a ventilator with complete oxygen supply in an obvious hand.

A self-aggrandizing approach to talking to parties, there are few strict guidelines for winning parties from less civic voters. Awami League's vote bank is generally seen as 35-40 percent. So the overall voter turnout of 41.8 percent (according to the Political Decision Commission data) shows that Awami League's main allies were in the mood to cast ballots and non-party citizens, who were believed to be 20-25 percent, stayed away from voting as well. BNP's bank which is assessed as 30-35 percent (from past races), sums up to about 60% of voters who stayed away. So rich people who cast their ballots mainly to influence the current government should be inspected more impartially and learned from its fabricated examples.


Essentially, Sheikh Hasina currently stands out as the person who is solely responsible for whatever happens in the country. The financial turmoil expected to result from the global financial turmoil will all hit close to home, with all the blame coming his way. A rising dollar, expansion, rising costs of fundamentals, tax evasion, horrendous energy endowments and global market movements will create residual problems before all of this sinks our product. So far, the previous finance minister has announced that not all IMF conditions can be met. During the June-December period, we could not explore with our unfamiliar trade holdings. This may not be the first of several defaults that may follow.


In the last ten years, and especially in the last five years, the impurity has at one time expanded to an enormous extent; To deny it is to hide from reality. A growing measure of non-performing progress is sucking the very "blood" of our financial structure, and the primary businesses responsible for it continue to receive government blessings. The internal governance structure of the banks has weakened, making the region more powerless and endangering the entire economy. Good governance has been alarmingly neglected, leaving the basic institutions of its own policies and responsibilities. The manipulation of the overall set of laws and its specific application will weaken the certainty of the global business locality, which is of vital significance if we need to increase unfamiliar speculation. The Head of State has guaranteed us that the economy will be his primary focus. We ask him to begin his new abode with unequivocal action on previously segregated subjects.


Widespread victory may not be as smooth as it looks on a superficial level. The truth of the matter is that victories are usually sparkling, yet outright victories are certainly blinding.
