Tarique Rahman's Win: Is India's 'Golden Phase' with Bangladesh Over?

• Tarique Rahman's BNP secured a two-thirds majority, signaling a shift in Bangladesh's political landscape.
• India's relationship with Bangladesh faces challenges, including the presence of former PM Sheikh Hasina in India, which BNP leaders view as an irritant.
• Security cooperation, trade, and connectivity, built during Hasina's tenure, are crucial but could be impacted by the new political climate.
• Economic ties remain strong, with bilateral trade approaching $18 billion and significant electricity exports from India to Bangladesh.
• China's growing influence in Bangladesh is a key concern for India, as Dhaka may seek to diversify its international partnerships.
