A Choppier Fourth Year?

When the Awami League (AL)-led Grand Alliance government came to power riding an electoral landslide, it promised to bring about change in the country's politics. Three years on, change is yet to arrive at the doorstep of the common men, some of whom have reasons to feel betrayed and disillusioned. A lot of weak and whimsical steps taken by the government threaten to mar some of its remarkable achievements. Now that Sheikh Hasina is about to steer the boat into a choppier fourth year in office, we try to explore where the country stands at this crucial juncture.
