AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday said his party wants to join the Mahagathbandhan for the upcoming Bihar assembly elections.

The Hyderabad MP said the AIMIM has written a letter to Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav, seeking six seats to contest.

“Now it’s up to them to decide. If they don’t agree, then the people of Bihar will see who is actually with the BJP. We have made every effort. The rest will be clear once the list is released," he said.

In 2020 polls, AIMIM won five seats in Bihar’s Seemanchal region. However, four AIMIM MLAs later defected to the RJD.

Meanwhile, the BJP hinted at a rift between the RJD and Congress over the chief ministerial face. The BJP alleged that Congress does not want to declare Tejashwi Yadav as the Mahagathbandhan CM face.
