In the interim and caretaker government systems of Bangladesh, an adviser (Bengali: উপদেষ্টা) is a government person who leads one or more government ministry.[1][2] An adviser has the status equivalet to the Minister of an elected government.[3][4][5] During an interim government, several advisers and the Chief Adviser forms the cabinet instead of Prime Minister and ministers.[6] Usually people who serves as adviser in a interim government in Bangladesh are politically nonpartisan.[7][8]
