AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has promised that his party will extend “full support” to the NDA government in Bihar if Chief Minister Nitish Kumar does “justice” to the Muslim-dominated Seemanchal region and keeps away “communalism”.

Owaisi is on Seemanchal tour

The Hyderabad MP made this comment during his two-day visit to Seemanchal. Seemanchal is the north-eastern region of Bihar, from where five candidates of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) have won in the recent assembly elections.

In the assembly elections, NDA won 14 out of 24 seats in Seemanchal. Despite this, Owaisi’s party AIMIM maintained its hold here and won 5 seats. The same number was there in 2020 also. However, 4 out of 5 AIMIM MLAs elected in 2020 later joined RJD.

Strict monitoring on MLAs, Owaisi’s new strategy

This time Owaisi clearly indicated that he will keep a close watch on the activities of his MLAs and indiscipline will not be tolerated in the party. He said, “Our five MLAs will sit in their respective regional offices two days a week and send me photos along with their live location. This will clearly show where they are.” Owaisi also said that he himself will visit Seemanchal once in six months.

Government should do justice to Seemanchal: Owaisi

Speaking to the media, Owaisi said, “We wish the new government formed in Patna all the best. We can also promise full support, provided it does justice to the Seemanchal region and also keeps communalism away.” The BJP, the largest partner in the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), has been alleging that large-scale “infiltration” is taking place in Seemanchal, leading to “demographic imbalance” in the region.

AIMIM fights for everyone: Owaisi

Owaisi said, “AIMIM has been fighting not just for Muslims but for all the people living in Seemanchal, where there is also a good population of Dalits and tribals. We hope that the new government will pay attention to this neglected area and will not be limited to Patna and Rajgir.”

Taking aim at RJD, Owaisi said, “It has been proved that those who seek votes of Muslims in the name of stopping BJP will not be able to stop that party. Therefore, those who are trusting the MY (Muslim Yadav) alliance should reconsider.” Let us tell you that RJD had rejected AIMIM’s request for alliance in the assembly elections and this time RJD’s seats in the assembly elections came down to 25, which is only one third of the figure of 75 seats five years ago.
