AIMIM Leader Blames “Arrogant” RJD for Mahagathbandhan’s Bihar Election Defeat

New Delhi: As the dust settles on the Bihar Assembly election results, AIMIM (All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen) leader Waris Pathan has launched a scathing critique of the ‘Mahagathbandhan’, specifically targeting the RJD (Rashtriya Janata Dal) for their significant defeat.

The NDA (National Democratic Alliance) secured a decisive victory, crossing the 200-seat mark in the 243-seat assembly. The BJP emerged as the single largest party, followed by JDU (Janata Dal-United). The RJD, leading the ‘Mahagathbandhan’, suffered a major setback.

Pathan accused the RJD of arrogance and strategic blunders that ultimately led to the opposition alliance’s downfall. “We approached them initially, offering to contest the elections together,” Pathan stated. “However, they were too arrogant to consider it.”

He further asserted that the RJD and Congress were responsible for the division of minority votes, contributing to their loss. Pathan revealed that AIMIM had only requested six seats from the ‘Mahagathbandhan’ to form an alliance, but their offer was rejected.

“First in Maharashtra and now in Bihar, they branded us as the ‘B-team’ of the BJP,” Pathan said, “and as a result, they have faced defeat and humiliation.”

Pathan also criticized the ‘Mahagathbandhan’s’ decision to declare Mukesh Sahni, leader of the Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP), as their Deputy Chief Ministerial candidate, calling it a strategic miscalculation. He argued that focusing on a smaller community while neglecting the significant minority vote bank proved detrimental to their prospects.
