A Owaisi’s AIMIM Seeks Entry Into Bihar Grand Alliance, Writes To Lalu Yadav

Patna:

The AIMIM in Bihar wants to join the Grand Alliance (Mahagathbandhan) to put a united front and consolidate minority votes in the Bihar election scheduled later this year, sources said.

Bihar’s AIMIM chief and MLA Akhtarul Iman has written a letter to Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Yadav, asking to include the Hyderabad-headquartered party in the Grand Alliance, sources said.

In the letter, Mr Iman said fighting the election together will ensure “secular votes” are not scattered and the Grand Alliance will have a much better chance at forming the next government.

Mr Iman, however, also added that not taking a quick decision on including AIMIM in the Grand Alliance will be considered a missed opportunity for the RJD.
