Bangladesh Elections: What BNP's Win Means For India?

India is weighing its next steps with cautious optimism after a decisive electoral verdict in Bangladesh that has handed a landslide victory to the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), ending a turbulent interim phase and reopening the door for a diplomatic reset between New Delhi and Dhaka.

Senior government sources said the result reinforces India's long-stated belief that only a democratically elected government with a popular mandate can provide stability and predictability to bilateral ties between India and Bangladesh.
