ডা. শফিকুরের ভোটের চাল, সফল হবে? | Jamayat | The Press

Jamaat-e-Islami’s surprise nomination of Krishna Nandi, a Hindu candidate in Khulna-1, has triggered one of the most unexpected political shifts ahead of Bangladesh’s February national election. The constituency—historically minority-dominated—has rarely seen Islamist parties attempt such crossover moves.

Analysts believe Jamaat is executing a calculated, multi-layered strategy:

to expand its voter base beyond traditional supporters,

to signal inclusiveness to international stakeholders,

and to counter India’s long-standing political influence in the region.


While Jamaat insists Nandi has been a grassroots member since 2003, critics point to his alleged links with external agencies and controversial figures such as Shipon Kumar Basu of the World Hindu Struggle.

Political researchers argue that if Jamaat truly wants to emerge as a “responsible, modern political force,” it must gain international trust, transform its internal policy structure, and ensure wider inclusivity.
This nomination—some say clever, others say manipulative—may help Jamaat attract minority voters in an election where the absence of Awami League leaves many swing votes up for grabs.

Whether this move reflects genuine change or a tactical gamble, one thing is clear: Jamaat has forced both Bangladesh and India to recalibrate their assumptions.
