Tejashwi’s Plan B and IP Gupta’s Growing Influence

Khazavali — Sun, 12 Oct 2025 05:18:34 +0000

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has started working on Plan B in Bihar politics. He met IP Gupta, leader of the Pan community, who recently left Congress and formed his own party. The meeting took place at Gupta’s Patna residence. Tejashwi’s move came after VIP leader Mukesh Sahni began drifting from the opposition alliance. IP Gupta earlier drew huge attention with his Gandhi Maidan rally in Patna, which caused major traffic jams.

On social media, Gupta shared photos of the meeting but didn’t confirm joining the grand alliance. Through poetic words, he hinted at seeking a role in Bihar politics. Gupta, president of All India Pan Mahasangh, has strong backing in the Paan and Tanti-Tatma communities. He is fighting to include the Tanti-Tatma group in the Scheduled Caste list, after their 2024 reclassification by the Supreme Court.

His influence is strongest in the Mithila and Kosi regions. Though his community forms only 2% of Bihar’s population, it can decide close contests. Tejashwi’s outreach to Gupta may shape Bihar politics ahead of future elections.

Owaisi’s AIMIM May Disrupt Grand Alliance Plans in Seemanchal

Khazavali — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 05:46:23 +0000

In the upcoming Bihar Election 2025, the political scene in Seemanchal has turned tense. Owaisi in Seemanchal is again in the spotlight after his recent visits and campaign activity. His party, the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), aims to contest seats in the Muslim-majority regions of Seemanchal and Kosi. After being denied entry into the India Alliance, Owaisi has chosen to go solo, which could strongly impact the Grand Alliance’s vote share.

In 2020, AIMIM surprised everyone by winning five seats in Seemanchal — two in Purnia, two in Kishanganj, and one in Araria. The party’s candidates gained large vote margins, mainly among Muslim voters. This time, Owaisi in Seemanchal could once again change the political equation.

Out of 24 seats in the Seemanchal–Kosi region, 11 are Muslim-majority. If AIMIM contests all these, the Grand Alliance’s calculations might fail, helping the NDA gain from the vote split. Seemanchal’s Muslim population has also grown by 10–12% over the last decade, increasing the stakes further.

Owaisi’s entry makes Seemanchal the key battleground of 2025.
