Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday conveyed his warm congratulations to Tarique Rahman on leading BNP to a decisive victory in the Parliamentary elections in Bangladesh.
“This victory shows the trust of the people of Bangladesh in your leadership,” Modi said in a message.
India will continue to stand in support of a democratic, progressive and inclusive Bangladesh, he said.
"I look forward to working with you to strengthen our multifaceted relations and advance our common development goals," he added.
Voting in Bangladesh’s national election concluded on Thursday in a largely peaceful atmosphere, with high hopes of restoring genuine democracy and securing a strong mandate for national reforms.
The polling in Bangladesh began at 7:30am and continued until 4:30pm without interruption at 42,659 polling stations in 299 out of 300 constituencies, amid the deployment of nearly one million security personnel and another one million polling staff.
