He said farmers in the Seemanchal region depend heavily on maize and makhana cultivation. However, prices of both crops have dropped in recent months. Yadav claimed that changes in ethanol purchase policies have reduced the demand for maize. At the same time, issues related to exports have affected makhana prices.

The MP said the protest aims to push the government to ensure fair prices and better support for farmers. He added that many farmers are facing financial stress due to the fall in crop prices.

Yadav also raised concerns about crimes against women in Bihar and said he would start another campaign across the state after April 18 to highlight women’s safety.

Owaisi’s party said a government is possible if JDU, RJD, Congress, CPIML, CPIM, and AIMIM join hands. The numbers add up to 124 seats, which is enough to cross the majority mark of 122 in Bihar. AIMIM even shared a sample cabinet plan to show how this alliance could work.

The party suggested that JDU could keep the Chief Minister’s post, along with two Deputy Chief Ministers and 20 ministers. RJD would get six ministerial posts, Congress would get two, and Left parties would get one each. AIMIM also proposed Nitish Kumar as the PM candidate for 2029.

In Seemanchal, AIMIM contested 29 seats, mostly in Muslim-dominated areas. It tried to join the Grand Alliance before the polls, but the offer was rejected. So, the party contested alone. Vote splits helped AIMIM win five seats, though it narrowly lost many others. The party now hopes its regional strength can shape future alliances.

He asked, “If the people of Bihar don’t follow him, why would Gen Z listen?” Kishor added that Congress has little presence in the state and mainly follows RJD’s lead. The only area where Congress still holds some ground is Seemanchal, where many Muslims support it.

However, migration continues daily for education and jobs. The Bihar Election Seemanchal seats reflect both progress and pain — floods, unemployment, and farming struggles dominate life. Around 80% of residents depend on agriculture and animal husbandry. Maize and Makhana farming support their economy, but issues like seed shortage and fertilizer crisis remain.

The NDA and Grand Alliance are again locked in a close fight. AIMIM and Jansuraj candidates have added more competition. Leaders like Tarkishore Prasad, Leshi Singh, and Vijay Kumar Mandal are contesting key seats. As voters weigh between development and local challenges, Seemanchal stands as a political mirror of Bihar’s hopes and hardships.

Owaisi continued his criticism, saying that Lalu Prasad Yadav’s son had called him a terrorist, but it is the people who will decide who the real terrorist is when they vote. He accused both the BJP and Nitish Kumar of promoting a Hindu nation and blamed them for youth migration and lack of education in Bihar.

The Bihar election war of words took a sharper turn when Owaisi defended himself, saying that if fighting for Muslim rights, border development, and justice is extremism, then he accepts that label.

He added that floods, poor infrastructure, and government neglect make Seemanchal one of the most backward regions. Owaisi promised that if AIMIM gets a chance, Seemanchal will see real development.

He also appealed to Muslims not to fear the BJP but to stand for their rights and development. The political clash between Kishor’s Jan Suraj Party and Owaisi’s AIMIM adds a new dimension to the upcoming 2025 Bihar Assembly elections.
