In the 2020 Bihar elections, AIMIM demanded five seats in Seemanchal, a region they targeted. However, the party later joined the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) alliance, gaining four more legislators. AIMIM’s leader, Asaduddin Owaisi, expressed his frustration as he had not received a response from Lalu Prasad Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav regarding their demands.
Owaisi clarified that AIMIM wanted to work with the opposition INDIA alliance but did not receive any positive reply. He also made it clear that AIMIM was not seeking any ministerial positions but expected a response from the RJD leadership. Despite multiple attempts, AIMIM never received any communication from Lalu and Tejashwi.
Owaisi emphasized that if the alliance failed, AIMIM would fight the Bihar elections independently, targeting 6 seats in Seemanchal. The party had hoped for an agreement but now seems prepared to go it alone if necessary.
