Some key developments:
Ershad recently joined Hasina's all-party government
Ershad quits grand alliance, urges BNP to join 'all-party' govt
Luring opposition members to join her government is part of the AL's grand strategy. This is to provide them with some political leverage.
Additionally, the recently established Union Bank is chaired by Ershad.
Nod to 6 more new banks
If the AL comes to power, Union Bank; along with five others would have more advantages to do business in the banking sector. Union Bank is also a Shariah-based bank.
Tareq Rahman has recently been acquitted from the much talked about money laundering case. Much to the surprise of many.

Many expected that he'd be found guilty. And it'll be hartal again. But no, that wasn't the case. It is an image war.
The AL intends to play the game in such to throw the BNP into a tantrum from which they cannot recover. The BNP do not have any road to go to other than performing protests, processions and hartals. They are simply not in any position at present. Should they perform any more hartals, the public would feel annoyed by them, and hence lose support. At least, that is what the AL are trying to convey.
And everyone will know what a kind and merciful leader Hasina truly is. But then, Khaleda's younger son, Koko is already in jail. So Hasina is satisfied to keep one of them.
In light of this, Khaleda Zia recently visited President Hamid.

After all these years? What for? What can that man possibly have in store for her? With the majority of the BNP's intelligentsia in prison, the party is unable to plan. I doubt if they ever had one from the start.
In short, the AL are trying to knock out major political opponents through this all party government. The election design is already in place. It was already engineered in advance. Only to make the AL make it to the majority of the parliament, with some measly opposition MP's like Ershad. And there is very little that major opposition parties can do about it. This is the AL's grand strategy.
The BNP were not very great at public relations. Tarek did a lot of damage to his, and his party's image. If memory serves, he used to misbehave with a lot with the BNP's senior members during their reign. This created divisions. And whatever bad the BNP did, they cannot overcome that negative image. This offered the AL to more opportunities to exploit that weakness by denting that image.
The AL are great at hiding corruption, and at the same time, capable of projecting a positive image. The BNP? Not really.
The army? Well, Tarek did not prove to pamper them enough. Presently, much of the army's seniors are composed of ruling party loyalists. Additionally, the AL are buying them many toys to keep them happy. Along with business opportunities ranging from banking to ice-cream parlors.
The AL really know how to play this game. Whereas the BNP? Not really.
