After the announcement of Bihar Assembly election dates, the turmoil in the politics of the state has intensified. While on one hand the major parties are busy finalizing the grand alliance and NDA seat sharing, on the other hand Asaduddin Owaisi has made a big political move. All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) is now going to form a new alliance i.e. Third Front in Bihar with the national president of its Janata Party, Swami Prasad Maurya.
AIMIM state president Akhtarul Imam announced this new alliance on Monday (October 13). He said that this time the party will not be limited to Seemanchal only, but will strongly contest elections on 32 seats in the state. Imam claimed that this new alliance will have a big impact on those seats where Muslim and OBC voters dominate.
RJD made a big mistake by not including it in the alliance – Akhtarul Imam
AIMIM state president Akhtarul Imam launched a scathing attack on the Grand Alliance, especially RJD and Congress. He said that RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has made a big mistake by not including AIMIM in the alliance. We had demanded only six seats, but we were sidelined. Its result will be seen in the elections.
RJD has forgotten the Muslim-Yadav equation: Imam
Taking aim at Tejashwi Yadav, Akhtarul Imam said that he is being ‘guided from somewhere’ and hence will always remain in the opposition. He also alleged that RJD has now forgotten its old ‘MY equation’ (Muslim-Yadav). According to Imam, RJD is now limited to only ‘Y’ and ‘M’ has been forgotten. This is the reason why Muslims are now forced to look towards the Third Front.
The alliance of Owaisi and Maurya will bring a new twist in the election picture.
Political analysts believe that this alliance of Owaisi and Swami Prasad Maurya can bring a new twist in the electoral picture of Bihar. AIMIM already has a strong support base in Seemanchal, while Maurya’s hold is considered to be in the OBC category. In such a situation, this alliance can pose a challenge to both the Grand Alliance and the NDA on many seats.
According to sources, both the parties will soon release the first list of joint candidates. AIMIM state leadership says that their aim is not only to share in power but also to give a new direction to social justice. After the announcement of Owaisi-Maurya alliance, a new war has broken out in the politics of Bihar, which can completely change the Muslim-OBC equation and make the electoral contest triangular.
