Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has congratulated Tarique Rahman following the Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s (BNP) decisive victory in the recent Parliamentary elections in Bangladesh.

The congratulatory message was shared on Prime Minister Modi’s official Facebook page, where he extended his warm wishes to Tarique Rahman for leading the BNP to a significant electoral success.

“I convey my warm congratulations to Mr. Tarique Rahman on leading BNP to a decisive victory in the Parliamentary elections in Bangladesh,” Modi wrote on his Facebook page.

He further stated that the victory reflects the trust and confidence of the people of Bangladesh in Rahman’s leadership.

Prime Minister Modi also reaffirmed India’s commitment to supporting a democratic, progressive, and inclusive Bangladesh.

“India will continue to stand in support of a democratic, progressive and inclusive Bangladesh. I look forward to working with you to strengthen our multifaceted relations and advance our common development goals,” he added.

The message is being viewed as an important diplomatic gesture, signaling New Delhi’s willingness to work closely with the new leadership in Dhaka. Political observers say the statement underscores the importance India places on maintaining strong bilateral relations with Bangladesh, particularly in trade, connectivity, regional security, and economic development.

The BNP’s victory marks a significant moment in Bangladesh’s political landscape, and international reactions, including from neighboring India, highlight the regional importance of the election outcome.
