Asaduddin Owaisi, led by All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen, who received labels as ‘vote cutter’ and spoiler in the Bihar assembly polls, won five Muslim-dominated seats on Tuesday and said his critics have received an adequate response. from the people.
With the election results on the razor’s edge earlier in the day, many thought that AIMIM could play a key role in shaping the next government should there be a hung assembly, having captured a considerable number of seats in the region of Seemanchal of the state, which was being seen as a stronghold of the great opposition alliance. The results, however, seemed to give the NDA a simple majority.
After the election results, Owaisi said that one learned from his mistakes in politics, NDTV reports. “Our chief from Bihar met personally with each and every political party leader. No one was willing to touch us. The big parties treated me like an untouchable. Our party chairman also met with all the important Muslim leaders “he said, adding that despite all the effort, nothing worked.
Owaisi said he couldn’t say why nothing worked, but added that he hoped the match would perform better in the future. AIMIM will decide later which party to support, he said.
AIMIM had run candidates in a number of constituencies, especially those with a high percentage of Muslim voters, contesting 24 seats in Bihar polls in alliance with the RLSP and BSP led by former Union Minister Upendra Kushwaha. The opposition had dubbed AIMIM the ‘BJP B team’ claiming that due to a split in Muslim votes, the more votes AIMIM received, the more favorable position would be given to the BJP-JD (U) alliance.
Owaisi said Tuesday night that it was a “very good day” for his match. “The people of Bihar have voted for us and given us their blessings. I don’t know how I can thank them,” he said.
The AIMIM leader said the party would work for the people and focus on areas affected by the floods, while thanking people for coming out and voting for them despite the ongoing pandemic.
However, Owaisi said that the party must be missing something, which resulted in it not winning any more seats. The leader said they would sit down and work together on the issues to increase their profits.
Congress repeated its “B-team” indictment on Tuesday, as trends put the Mahagathbandhan behind the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance. “They assured us a victory in Bihar, but then some smaller parties cost us … Owaisi’s party has played a role in cutting our votes, Owaisi has been used by the BJP to attack us,” said Congress leader Adhir Ranjan. Choudhary.
Owaisi responded by saying that Congress was trying to “hide its frustration.” “If they are defeated, they blame Owaisi. We started our trip to Bihar five years ago. We have worked for the development of Seemanchal. Later we will decide who we will support. Our fight for justice for Seemanchal will continue,” he said.
