Adviser (Bengali: উপদেষ্টা), also spelt Advisor, refers to a government official who oversees one or more government ministries in the interim and caretaker government systems of Bangladesh. An adviser has the status equivalent to the Minister of an elected government. During an interim government, several advisers and the Chief Adviser forms the cabinet instead of Prime Minister and ministers. Usually people who serves as adviser in an interim government in Bangladesh are politically nonpartisan.
