A joint press conference was held by the Grand Alliance on Thursday (October 23, 2025). In this, senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot made it clear that if the Grand Alliance government is formed, the Chief Minister will be Tejashwi Yadav and the Deputy Chief Minister will be Mukesh Sahni. After this announcement, JDU has raised the question that 2.60% sailors will be given laddus, 18% Muslims will be given pumpkins. Are Muslims there only to scare and get votes?
Now politics has started on this whole matter. BJP spokesperson Danish Iqbal said that today the Grand Alliance has made it clear that these people talk about MY equation, but it is visible how much preference is being given to Muslims. Hundred percent of Muslim votes go to the grand alliance, but they just take the votes of Muslims and do not think anything about them.

Danish said, “Now there is a need to awaken the Muslims of Bihar. Now they should see what is right and what is wrong for them. All religious communities get respect in BJP. We are Muslims, yet all the work of the media cell is my responsibility. The Muslim community was made a minister in Uttar Pradesh. These people have deceived the Muslims before and are doing so even today.”
‘Nitish Kumar kept respecting Muslims’
On this issue, JDU spokesperson Neeraj Kumar said that this is not today’s thing, people know about taking votes of Muslims but do not respect them. It was visible in 2015 itself that Lalu Prasad Yadav had placed senior leader Abdul Bari Siddiqui under Tej Pratap Yadav. Our leader Nitish Kumar has always respected Muslims. There were 12 communal riots during the reign of Lalu-Rabri. Our leader Nitish Kumar did the work of getting the accused punished in the Bhagalpur riots. These people only consider Muslims as their vote bank. This time the people of Muslim community are understanding everything.
Although RJD has defended it. RJD spokesperson Ejaz Ahmed said that NDA people do politics of spreading hatred. There is no complaint among the people of Muslim community. These people (NDA) always want to earn their living by doing Hindu-Muslim politics. Whatever was the demand of the time has been done. Everything will be fine in the coming time.
