AIMIM Chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi may contest the Bihar Assembly Elections with the India Bloc (Mahagathbandhan). Speaking to ANI, he said,
“We don’t want the BJP-NDA to win in Bihar. But it depends on the alliance leaders. They have the right to decide.”
Owaisi Sends Message to Opposition Parties
Owaisi said some political parties are staying silent at a crucial time.
“They must wake up before it’s too late. It’s no use crying after everything is over. You are not politically dead yet. If you want to survive, act now.”
He confirmed that AIMIM has already declared candidates in two assembly seats and is planning to contest in areas outside Seemanchal as well.
Trying to Stop BJP-NDA
When asked about joining the Mahagathbandhan, Owaisi said:
“Our Bihar state president Akhatarul Iman is trying to stop BJP-NDA from coming to power. People may not know, but five years ago, I also tried to speak with two MPs in Parliament. Even now, we don’t want BJP to win. But again, the final decision is up to them.”
Owaisi Wrote to Election Commission on Voter List
Owaisi also raised questions about the rechecking of Bihar’s voter list. He wrote a letter to the Chief Election Commissioner, calling it a legally questionable move. He said this may lead to real voters being removed from the list.
He accused the Election Commission of secretly implementing NRC in Bihar.
Owaisi Questions New Rules for Voter Registration
On X (formerly Twitter), Owaisi said:
“To register in the voter list, people now have to show documents proving where and when they were born, and also their parents’ birth details. But in India, only about 75% of births are officially registered, and most government records have errors. This is unfair.”
