The BNP promotes a very center-right policy combining elements of conservatism, corporatism, nationalism, strong defense, anti-anarchism and anti-communism. It is more popular among the country's business class, military, and conservatives, and is credited with bringing socio-economic stability in the country. Young people have showing particular interest to the party due to its open minded policy and in large the party is operated by young leaders. The party believes that Islam, is an integral part of the socio-cultural life of Bangladesh, and favors Islamic principles, as well as cultural views together. This is particularly seen through its alliance with the Islamic party of Jamaat.[1]

Prior to the 2001 General Election, party's religious points of view was largely reconsidered and although it went with an alliance with Islamic party of Jamaat, number of leaders representing the minority communities were nominated and ultimately they took part in the landslide triumph of the party. Since then the concept is established that BNP believes in a Bangladeshi nationalism which insists every person of all communities to take part in the development works toward better future.
