Teesta Water Sharing Treaty in focus as Bangladesh hails BJP win in Bengal, calls Mamata Banerjee an ‘impediment’ | Today News
In what could indicate a shift in regional political dynamics, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) on Tuesday formally congratulated the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on its electoral win in West Bengal. I think this BJP victory under the leadership of Suvendu Adhikari will ensure that the relationship between West Bengal and the Bangladesh government remains the same as before, in a positive manner. India and Bangladesh share 54 rivers, but only two formal treaties have been signed to date, including the Ganga Waters Treaty and the Kushiyara River Treaty, while key rivers like the Teesta and Feni remain under negotiation.
