After the meeting, Akhtarul Iman said the discussion was positive and gave “good signals.” He said AIMIM would inform party chief Asaduddin Owaisi about the meeting before taking any final decision.

The meeting lasted for more than 30 minutes. Leaders mainly discussed the Rajya Sabha election numbers in Bihar. They also spoke about working together to support weaker and marginalized communities.

In the Bihar Assembly, the opposition alliance has around 35 MLAs. A candidate needs 41 votes to win a Rajya Sabha seat. AIMIM’s MLAs could play an important role in helping the RJD candidate secure victory.

A final decision on support is expected after AIMIM leadership reviews the discussion.

Iman told the media that his party had no information about the gathering of alliance leaders. He said the meeting was an internal matter of Tejashwi Yadav and his allies. According to him, AIMIM will decide its stand on the Rajya Sabha election later.

Earlier, AIMIM asked the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) to support its candidate for the Rajya Sabha seat. However, Tejashwi Yadav later announced Amrendra Dhari Singh as the party’s candidate for the election.

Bihar will see a contest for the Rajya Sabha seats as six candidates are in the race for five seats. Political observers say Tejashwi Yadav did not invite AIMIM leaders, which shows growing distance between the two parties before the vote.

Akhtarul Iman explained that an army base is coming up between Kochadhaman and Bahadurganj. The project needs 250 acres of land. He said the place is crowded and has several religious sites. According to him, this may create trouble for local people. He asked the CM to shift the project to another location so families do not face problems. He also said no political discussion happened in the meeting.

Jokihat MLA Murshid Alam spoke about two key demands for his area: setting up two new colleges and creating a new block in Jokihat. The CM promised quick action. He said every issue will be solved without delay. AIMIM holds five seats in Bihar, all from the Seemanchal region.

The list includes seats from Kishanganj, Purnia, Katihar, Araria, Gaya, Motihari, and Bhagalpur. AIMIM hopes to strengthen its influence in Mithila, Magadh, and Shahabad regions too. In 2020, the party won five of the 20 seats it contested as part of Upendra Kushwaha’s Third Front.

Now, AIMIM plans to build a new Third Front with smaller regional parties. Akhtarul Iman said talks are in progress and an official announcement will follow soon. With this move, Owaisi aims to give Bihar’s minorities a stronger voice and play a key role in the upcoming polls.

Owaisi reiterated that such developments reflect changing political strategies in the State. He accused opposition parties of attempting to sideline smaller groups like AIMIM. The AIMIM chief said his party will continue to work for the rights of minorities and stressed that political alliances should be built on common principles, not opportunism.

Speaking to supporters, Owaisi expressed confidence in AIMIM’s ability to strengthen its presence in Bihar. He said Akhtarul Iman’s outreach to Tejashwi Yadav showed the fluid nature of alliances. Owaisi insisted that AIMIM will not compromise on its core issues and will contest to give a voice to underrepresented communities.

This statement adds a new dimension to Bihar’s political discourse. Political analysts say it could influence alliance equations in the State.
