AIMIM plans to contest 100 seats in upcoming Bihar assembly elections, significantly expanding from their previous electoral presence. Party president Asaduddin Owaisi aims to establish a third political alternative in Bihar's traditionally bipolar political landscape after being rejected by the INDIA bloc. With elections scheduled for November, AIMIM targets regions with significant Muslim populations while facing accusations of dividing secular votes to benefit BJP.
