Overview

  • The Hyderabad MP will start from Kishanganj on September 24 and hold roadshows and corner meetings through September 27 across Kishanganj, Araria, Purnea and Katihar.
  • AIMIM says the yatra will spotlight regional underdevelopment, echoing Owaisi’s push for a Seemanchal Region Development Council under Article 371.
  • The party indicates it may field candidates in more than 20 constituencies in 2025, with several local figures expressing interest in tickets.
  • After receiving no response to its proposal to join the INDIA bloc, AIMIM is discussing regional tie-ups and positioning itself equidistant from NDA and INDIA, according to party leaders.
  • AIMIM won five Seemanchal seats in 2020 before four MLAs defected to the RJD in 2022, keeping the minority-heavy belt a competitive arena for RJD, NDA and smaller formations.
