In Sylhet’s Osmaninagar, a quiet but intense political rivalry has emerged between two influential BNP figures—Humayun Kabir, foreign affairs advisor to Tarique Rahman with ministerial rank, and Tahsina Rushdir Luna, the elected MP for Sylhet-2. Despite Kabir’s international experience, he has struggled to consolidate local influence, while Luna has strengthened her grassroots leadership. Following the BNP’s landslide victory on February 12, 2026, both leaders gained prominence, but their competing factions now dominate local political and administrative dynamics.

Administrative committees and official events have reportedly favored the MP’s faction, sidelining Kabir’s supporters. Disputes have surfaced over protocol violations, event management, and access to government platforms. Local leaders have expressed concern that unequal administrative treatment could hinder coordination and development. Recent incidents, including a disrupted relief event and social media disputes, have further exposed tensions between the two camps.

BNP district leaders have urged both sides to work together for the area’s development, warning that favoritism by local administration could obstruct unity and progress.
