All political parties have started preparations for the five Rajya Sabha seats falling vacant in Bihar. While NDA is getting four seats, the opposition is trying hard to get one seat. The formula for this has started being set. RJD MLA Bhai Virendra has given a big statement regarding this and also claimed victory.
Brother Virendra gave his reaction on this to journalists on Monday (February 23, 2026). Regarding the Rajya Sabha elections, he said, “The formula will be set… Our personal opinion is that any Akaliyat (minority) should be given a seat. Especially if Hina Shahab is given the seat, then we will take away the seat.”
‘When election time comes, the formula…’
On this question, AIMIM is saying that we will give our candidate. On this, brother Virendra said that everyone says this, but when the time of elections comes, a formula has to be set. So we do not think that AIMIM will oppose if we field the candidate we want. If she (Hina Shahab) is fielded, she will take the seat. It is clear from the statement of brother Virendra that he has set a formula for support from AIMIM.
However, AIMIM’s Bihar state president and MLA Akhtarul Iman has said that we will field our candidate in the Rajya Sabha elections. He has sought the cooperation of opposition parties for this. He says that if communal forces are to be stopped then the opposition should support them.
Who is Hina Shahab? (Who is Hena Shahab?)
Hina Saheb is the wife of former MP Shahabuddin. At present Osama Shahab, son of late leader Shahabuddin, is an MLA from RJD. For the first time, RJD gave ticket in the 2025 assembly elections and they won. If we talk about Hina Shahab, she has not even gone to Rajya Sabha. Contested Lok Sabha elections since 2009 on RJD ticket but never won. Independents contested in 2024 but still lost. Let us tell you that Shahabuddin never lost an election. He became an independent MLA for the first time while in jail.
