BNP may gain after Khaleda Zia's death: Expert on Bangladesh polls

Khaleda Zia was Bangladesh's first woman PM, taking oath three times and completing two full terms, notes journalist Gautam Lahiri. He said her joint movement with Sheikh Hasina toppled the army-backed regime and that a rare consensus now respects her role. After her death, Lahiri believes BNP could gain sympathy in the upcoming election scheduled for February 12 in Bangladesh.
