Overview
- Asaduddin Owaisi said AIMIM would support the Nitish Kumar government only if the Seemanchal region receives justice and tangible development.
- He highlighted persistent Seemanchal grievances, citing Kosi river erosion, large-scale migration, and corruption that he says require immediate attention.
- AIMIM won five assembly seats in the Bihar polls, matching its 2020 tally, while the NDA took 14 of Seemanchal’s 24 constituencies and Nitish Kumar began a record 10th term as chief minister.
- To deter defections and improve outreach, Owaisi ordered his five MLAs to hold twice-weekly constituency office hours and send photos with live WhatsApp location, with the regimen starting within six months and his own visits every six months.
- He also urged the new administration to keep communalism at bay as part of any cooperation from AIMIM.
