HYDERABAD: AIMIM, which appeared set to win five Muslim-dominated seats in the Bihar assembly elections, will accept a call to extend support for the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan once the final results are declared, the head of the party, Asaduddin Owaisi.
When asked once the final results were released and if there would be a need as to whether AIMIM will support RJD, the Hyderabad MP told reporters here that the count was still ongoing and the final results have yet to be declared. .
“I could respond once the results are known.
Why should I speculate? … when the final results are known, a decision will be made, “Owaisi said without giving a direct answer.
He said the party will strive for the development of the Seemanchal region of the state.
The Owaisi-led AIMIM was part of the Great Secular Democratic Front which has four other parties, including former Union Minister Upendra Kushwaha’s Rashtriya Lok Samta Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party.
Furthermore, he said that AIMIM will contest the elections in West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and other states as well without releasing any details about the alliance with other parties.
On allegations that his party was splitting the votes against the BJP, Owaisi said that he is leading a political party and has the right to participate on his own.
“You mean we should not fight in elections. You (Congress) went and sat on Shiv Sena’s lap (in Maharashtra) … I will fight in West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and I will fight in all elections in the country. Ask permission to anyone to fight the ballot box, ”he said.
“AIMIM will fight in the 2022 assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh and who we will ally with, only time will tell,” added Owaisi.
