The All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) is planning to field more candidates from the Seemanchal region of Bihar in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, party chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi said on Saturday.
In a major set back to Asaduddin Owaisi’s All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) in Bihar, four of its five MLAs on Wednesday joined the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).
Seven year has passed by since a grant of 136 crore was sanctioned to set up Bihar’s Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) center in Kishanganj under Congress-led UPA government in 2013. But only 10 crore amount has been released so far, which threw the center in a debilitating situation.
According to data from the Election Commission as of 6 pm, Asaduddin Owaisi's All India Majlis-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) was leading in the five seats of Amour, Bahadurganj, Jokihat, Baisi, and Kochadhaman.
In Jokihat seat of the Seemanchal region in Bihar, Sarfaraz Alam, and Shahnawaz Alam, two sons of a former union minister and veteran RJD leader late Mohammad Taslimuddin are contesting against each other.
