Tejashwi at AIMIM Iftar Seals Bihar Opposition Pact for Rajya Sabha Showdown

Bihar’s political cauldron simmers with Rajya Sabha voting set for March 16 across five seats. Amid closed-door meetings, a public gesture emerged: Tejashwi Yadav, RJD’s key figure, joined Akhtarul Iman’s Iftar on Sunday, joined by throngs of faithful.

Tejashwi’s post-Iftar remarks rang optimistic. ‘All secular outfits will rally to beat BJP,’ he assured presspersons, disclosing AIMIM support requests.

Akhtarul Iman confirmed the alliance, stating AIMIM’s five MLAs commit to Mahagathbandhan. ‘Our legislators vote for the opposition nominee, period,’ he declared.

Breaking down the math: 243 Bihar MLAs; 41 votes needed per seat. NDA’s 202 MLAs clinch four easily; fifth demands outreach.

Mahagathbandhan’s 35 MLAs gain crucial lift from AIMIM (5) and BSP (1). This pact narrows the gap dramatically.

The development underscores Ramadan’s role in bridge-building. With polls imminent, this solidarity may redefine power dynamics in Bihar and beyond.
