Bihar Election 2025: There is a major change in Bihar’s politics before the upcoming 2025 assembly elections. Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav has done a clever political move by deciding not to include AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi in the grand alliance. For the first time this decision may seem like ordinary coalition politics, but behind it, the intensive strategy of Tejashwi is hidden regarding the seats of Seemanchal and the equation of MY (Muslim-Yadav).
Focus on Seemanchal
Tejashwi Yadav has given AIMIM out of the Grand Alliance and has given a big indication that he wants to make full strength on the politics of Seemanchal himself. In the 2020 assembly elections, AIMIM contested about 20 seats in Seemanchal and surprised everyone by winning 5 seats. Along with this, he had collected about 5.23 lakh votes by securing third place in 4 seats. It made a dent in the traditional vote bank of RJD.
Attempt to return my equation
Tejashwi is now attempting to recreate his father Lalu Prasad Yadav’s old politics-Muslim-Yadav equation. In recent times, some resentment has been seen in Muslim society due to the policies of the central government, such as the Waqf Board Amendment Bill,. Tejashwi wants to capitalize on this resentment in his favor and in such a situation, he does not want a party like AIMIM to distribute to that voter class.
Political experiment but not partnership
According to the expert, Tejashwi has made a role to give birth to a ‘third front’ by excluding Owaisi from the alliance. This can make a dent in the NDA votes in AIMIM Seemanchal, which will finally prove to be very beneficial for RJD. That is, Tejashwi has strategically used the strategic use without taking AIMIM directly.
Long -term thinking of the grand alliance
This decision of Tejashwi is not only associated with seat sharing, but also with the long -term strategy of the Grand Alliance. If AIMIM is given the seats of Seemanchal, RJD’s grip could weaken. That is why keeping Owaisi away, in the eyes of Tejashwi, is a long -term profit deal despite the short -term political loss.
Let me tell you, in Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, Tejashwi Yadav has made it clear that he will not allow his traditional vote bank to be divided at any cost. His biggest goal is to maintain a strong hold on the seats of Seemanchal and to collect Muslim voters. Now it will be interesting to see whether this political bet of Tejashwi can reach him to the chair of power or not.
