OK Sourav ji; another candidate is Ipomoea sepiaria whose leaves are normally cordate with purple variagation, though sometimes (rarely seen) assumes hastate shape.
The corolla is never yellow (I have never seen), ranges from white with tinge of pink - mauve - lilac with purple throat. Measures 3 - 4 cm across.

Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam. should be the correct ID.
Thank you

Can you show the calyx?
Looks different from Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.

Forwarding again for Id assistance please.

Some earlier relevant feedback:

Can you show the calyx?
Looks different from Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.

Pl. check with Ipomoea sagittifolia Burm. f.- from me

Difficult to say either "yes" or "no"for both the suggested IDs! Something just doesn't tally either with I.batatas or I. sagittifolia.
Not sure even if it can be I. aquatica, which is eaten here as KALMI SHAK (SHAG).

Sepal pictures might have helped,as suggested by Garg Sir.

White flower is not the problem area Sir, I have both the variety (white and purplish) in front of our kitchen, growing wildly on the bank of our pond.

Also I have seen leaves of varied shape and size (depends upon water content of the soil, nutrients, humus content, seasonal variation etc.) in Ipomoea aquatica.

The problem area is the size of stamens, looks a bit odd to me! I will check tomorrow morning.

Thank you
Regards

Sir,

I attach here a few pictures of Ipomoea aquatica Forssk., for comparison with the specimen from Bangladesh. The pictures are recorded today.

Thank you
