News India Live, Digital Desk: Bihar’s electoral politics is completely hot these days! AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi has further increased the electoral temperature with his rallies. He recently addressed a public meeting in Madhubani, Bihar and attacked Bihar Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav fiercely. This sharp statement by Owaisi has made a lot of headlines in the political corridors.
Owaisi, while directly challenging Tejashwi Yadav during the public meeting in Madhubani, said, “You talk about the poor and the Majlums, but do not see standing with the Majloom. If you have courage, leave your chair and stand on the road with us.” This statement personally targets Tejashwi and tries to prove him a weak leader on the issues of the poor and minorities of Bihar.
The attack of the AIMIM chief shows that Dalits and Muslim vote banks will be an important factor in Bihar’s upcoming assembly elections. Owaisi always talks about the rights and security of Muslims in his speeches and he often accuses parties like RJD that he has used Muslims only for vote bank. He said that today there is no strength of the Muslim community because they are used and put in garbage. Owaisi appealed to the youth of the Muslim community to unite and come as a ‘lion of the Majloom’.
The purpose of challenging Tejashwi Yadav is Owaisi’s clear – they want to draw Muslim voters, who are traditionally considered supporters of RJD. If Owaisi also manages to turn some votes in this community, then it can cause great damage to Tejashwi Yadav and Grand Alliance. In Bihar, all eyes are now on Owaisi and their political pants.
