    Muslim Representation in Bihar Politics: Owaisi Questions Mahagathbandhan's Deputy CM Choice

    Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM challenges the Mahagathbandhan coalition for overlooking Muslim representation in Bihar's leadership, despite Muslims comprising 18% of the electorate.

The political dynamics highlight complex questions about representation, polarization, and strategic electoral calculations ahead of Bihar's 2025 elections.
