Political enthusiasts have intensified before the assembly elections to be held in Bihar later this year. Recently, RJD, the largest party of the Grand Alliance, chose Lalu Prasad Yadav as its national president for the 13th time and the party has been gearing up to contest the election with full power. Meanwhile, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said on Sunday that his party has approached the leaders of the opposition grand alliance in Bihar as the party’s purpose is to stop the NDA from returning to power in the upcoming elections.
Leaders of Grand Alliance will take decisions
Owaisi said that AIMIM Bihar state president Akhtarul Iman has contacted the leaders of the Grand Alliance, including Congress, RJD and others, and he has shown his interest in contesting elections against BJP and its allies. Owaisi said, ‘Our state president Akhtarul Iman has spoken to some leaders of the Grand Alliance and has clearly said that we do not want BJP or NDA to return to power in Bihar. Now this decision depends on those political parties who want to stop the NDA from returning to power in Bihar.

AIMIM, which has a strong position in the Seemanchal region of Bihar, suffered a major setback in 2022, when four of his five MLAs joined the RJD of Tejashwi Yadav. Owaisi said that his party will field candidates not only Seemanchal but also outside it.
‘We ready to fight all the seats’
He said, ‘If they (grand alliance) are not ready, then I am ready to contest elections everywhere. Wait for the coming time. It is too early to announce the exact number of seats. He said that we have tried to come together earlier and are also trying this time so that these people do not blame us later.

Earlier, Owaisi wrote a letter to the Chief Election Commission of India opposing the re -investigation of the voter list in Bihar. He claimed on X, “This is legally suspicious exercise that will exclude real voters in elections.” Owaisi targeted the Election Commission and alleged that the Commission is implementing NRC in Bihar through the back door.
Questions raised on the investigation of voter list
He wrote on X, ‘To register the name in the voter list, now every citizen will not only have to show the documents that proved when and where they were born, but also to prove when and where their parents were born. Even according to the best estimates, only three-fourth of berth registrations are done. More government documents are full of flaws.
He also claimed that with such an exercise, the names of the poor would be out of the voter list, which is a violation of their constitutional rights.
