How easy will it be for deposed AL to make a comeback after uprising?
The Awami League, the party that led Bangladesh’s Liberation War, has been ousted from power 53 years after independence through a mass uprising—an event with at least twenty contributing factors. While conspiracy theories and accusations of foreign interference continue to circulate, there is no denying that in recent years the Awami League became increasingly disconnected from the people due to rampant corruption, partisan favoritism, and nepotism.
If interim government doesn’t set an example in reform, it won't happen again
Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the Chief Adviser of the caretaker government, has placed excessive emphasis on reform. He clearly stated, “Not flimsy reform, not superficial reform, but fundamental reform. We will do it in such a way that no one will be able to undo it.” He also remarked, “My only concern is reform. Debate all you want about what the reforms will be, but let’s not hold an election without reform… Don't miss this opportunity.” His words are commendable; however, they are not grounded in the realities of the situation. He dreams, but in trying to realize those dreams, he faces disillusionment. His claim that he will make reform irreversible is rooted more in emotion than in practical reality.

Before looking at others, let’s first look in the mirror
If it has taken 54 years for a nation to descend into decay, how can we expect it to be transformed in just one year? If the people of Bangladesh truly wish to become free from corruption, honest, educated, just, and creative, can that really happen within a single year? The truth is—one cannot extinguish the fire of 54 years of corruption in a single year and expect good outcomes.
When will Bangladesh overcome the culture of denial?
On April 1, 2025, The New York Times published a report titled “Islamist Hardliners Seize Opportunity to Shape New Bangladesh.” The Press Wing of the interim government’s Chief Advisor termed the report “misleading,” claiming it highlighted selective incidents without considering the broader reality of Bangladesh’s current situation, thereby creating confusion on the global stage.
WASA CBAs must show sense of responsibility
The CBA (Collective Bargaining Authority) is the organization representing employees and workers to exchange opinions between the workers and the owners. The CBAs play very important role in national institutions and factories. Dhaka WASA has only a few CBAs working under the Department of Labour. They perform their duties as per their convenience and are present at office seldom, some are absent all the days of the month. Some come to the office two or four days a month and of course late. Even though this trend continues after the political changes, they receive their salaries on time at the end of the month. They are all leaders of the pro-BNP workers' union of Dhaka WASA.
