Bihar Elections: Asaduddin Owaisi’s Rising Popularity Causes Concern Among Rival Parties
Bihar/Seemanchal’ Nov 8 ( Ali Abbas Jaffri-PMI Correspondent)
In the 2020 Bihar Assembly elections, the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) created a political sensation by winning five seats in the Seemanchal region, a development that dealt a major blow to the Grand Alliance (Mahagathbandhan).
AIMIM had secured victories in Amour, Bahadurganj, Baisi, Jokihat, and Kochadhaman constituencies. In Amour, Bahadurganj, and Baisi, the Mahagathbandhan candidates — who were sitting MLAs at the time — were pushed to third place, while NDA candidates stood second.
The results highlighted a clear division of Muslim votes in the Muslim-dominated Seemanchal region. However, political analysts argue that the anti-incumbency sentiment against the ruling government also contributed to the Grand Alliance’s poor performance in those constituencies.
As the new elections approach, the key question remains: Can AIMIM replicate its 2020 success in Seemanchal once again?

Several senior political leaders have observed that All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi has gained significant public popularity in recent times.
According to political analysts, the AIMIM is expected to perform better in the upcoming elections compared to the previous one, a development that could worry rival political parties.
Owaisi’s growing political influence, particularly in Muslim-majority regions like Seemanchal, has made the electoral contest more competitive and unpredictable. (Pressmediaofindia.com)
