The 1991-'96 and 2001-'06 BNP led governments' successes include development in the education sector, infrastructure and telecommunications development, growth of macro-economy, and improvement of law and order situation.

While both the governments were seen as business-friendly, their pro-market policies led to significant price-inflation. The BNP promotes a very center-right policy combining elements of conservatism, corporatism, nationalism, militarism, authoritarianism, anti-anarchism, anti-communism and anti-liberalism. It is more popular among the country's business class, military, and conservatives, and is credited with bringing socio-economic stability in the country.
