Bihar Election 2025: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday stated that his party is ready for an alliance with the INDIA bloc in the upcoming Bihar assembly election. Owaisi stated that AIMIM's state chief, Akhtarul Iman, has written a letter to the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader, Tejashwi Yadav, demanding six seats. He further emphasised that the AIMIM has played its role, and now it is up to the RJD whether they want to stop the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) or not. Earlier in the 2020 assembly election, AIMIM managed to win five seats; however, four of its MLAs joined RJD later, leading to distress between the two parties.
"Akhtarul Iman has written a letter to the LoP here (Tejashwi Yadav) and we have said through media that AIMIM is ready for alliance. Akhtarul Iman has also written that they can give us 6 seats. It is not up to them to decide," Owaisi told reporters in Kishanganj district. However, he clarified that the voters of Bihar would notice everything if the offer is not accepted by the RJD.
"If they do not do this, people of Bihar would see who wants to make the BJP succeed and who wants to stop them. So, the decision is upto the people of Bihar. We have shouldered our responsibility," Owaisi added.
Apart from this, Owaisi also slammed the established parties of the state for "ignoring" the Seemanchal region, adding that the people will decide their fate by themselves. "Over the last 60 years, the fate of the people of Seemanchal was being decided by someone sitting in Patna. But this won't happen now. People of Seemanchal will decide for themselves," Owaisi stated at a rally in Kishanganj.
