Political culture
The political culture of Bangladesh is termed by many as confrontational. This simply means such a form of political culture which is very much antagonistic and instigative. Almost each and every political party of Bangladesh is not railed in the right path of development, rather each of them is derailed from the genuine direction of democratic polity. This unexpected and abominable political practices not only deter development initiatives but also cause a number of problems. Such a form of hostile and ill political motive seriously deprives the common people from the light of overall development. In our country, this sort of politics has been a crucial issue. Because of the absence of an appropriate democratic polity we do not see proper co-ordination and co-operation among the political parties. For example, our leading opposition party, the BNP is hardly concerned to play a constructive role in terms of participation in parliament. On the other hand, the AL-led grand alliance, current ruling party, is also a bit reluctant to listening to the grievances and demands of the BNP.
For overall development, for example, social, political, administrative and economic, our political parties should come forward to join the mainstream of the democratic polity. Otherwise, the nation will always lag behind.
