Why Only Professor Yunus Can Save Bangladesh’s Future – A Deep Look at the Interim Government Crisis

Professor Yunus interim government analysis in Bangladesh 2025

– Are you satisfied with the performance of this interim government?
– No, I’m not satisfied. I’m only happy with the work of Professor Yunus. Not with the others. You could say the rest of the advisory panel is mostly ineffective. But honestly, no matter who comes to power right now, they will fail. In short, whoever rules Bangladesh in the next few years will be unpopular. Given the current situation, this is the natural effect after an upheaval. Nothing much can be done.

– Then what should be done to get better results from this government?
– For now, there’s not much to do. But the ineffective advisors should be filtered out and replaced with some capable people. Then this government needs time, support, patience, and trust.

– We are already giving time, but nothing useful seems to be happening.
– True, but once some administrative changes are made, the government will slowly start improving. Because organizing broken systems is not easy.
Once it gains momentum, success will increase at a multiplied rate — that can be guaranteed.

– When will that time come?
– If you're not blindly loyal to any party, then in about a year to a year and a half, you’ll start seeing some positive changes. For example, by this December you might say — “We don’t need an election right now. Professor Yunus’ government is doing better than before.”
And hopefully, it will keep improving.

– So if people don’t want to keep this government, what’s the best thing to do?
– What should’ve happened a few days ago: form a revolutionary government by changing the constitution.
If we could bring together smart leaders from all political parties into a united, revolutionary government, that would’ve been the best.
Professor Yunus did call everyone for national unity.
But sadly, most people in our country are too immature. So that didn’t happen.

– Is there any other alternative?
– Like before, the constitution has to be changed first.
The President’s power should be increased. A national election can be arranged keeping a reserved spot for Professor Yunus as President.
Also, the power of the law, justice, and administration sectors should be increased as needed — so there’s a balance in the ruling system.
The benefit would be: an elected government wouldn’t be able to act like a dictator anymore. If they go too far, they’d get kicked out.

– Why are you keeping Professor Yunus in every option?
– Because I said it from the beginning — we have no alternative to him.
If we had someone else, maybe we’d choose them.
But honestly, without him, I think the situation would’ve been worse by now.
There’d be a bigger threat to our sovereignty. The international community wouldn’t accept the revolution so easily.
We would’ve missed out on many global and local benefits.
There are many invisible impacts too — maybe I can’t remember all right now, but you’ll understand if you think about it.

– Anyway, will there be an election this year?
– No. Even by the middle of next year, it’s unlikely.
But if political parties start creating too much chaos, then maybe by this time next year there could be an election.
And if this government manages to click, then they might stay in power a bit longer.
But it’s very unlikely they’ll stay beyond two years.
