Bihar Assembly Elections 2025: Asaduddin Owaisi kicks off campaign with Seemanchal Nyay Yatra from today

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief and Hyderabad parliamentarian Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday reached Bihar ahead of the Assembly elections likely to field candidates in more than 20 constituencies.

Janab Owaisi, who heads the AIMIM as president, has for several years sought to expand the party’s presence in the Bihar Vidhan Sabha. His primary focus has been highlighting the backwardness of the Seemanchal region, which he has previously attributed to the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Janata Dal (United) governments.

The AIMIM campaign, scheduled to begin on Wednesday (September 24), will centre on the Seemanchal districts of Purnea, Katihar, Araria and Kishanganj. Titled the Seemanchal Nyay Yatra, it will include roadshows and public meetings in constituencies where the party has contested



earlier.

On the first day, the campaign will cover Kishanganj, Thakurganj and Bahadurganj. On the second, it will move through Kochadaman, Jokihat, Araria and Purnea. More rallies are planned in other parts of the State.

In the 2020 Bihar elections, AIMIM fielded 19 candidates and won five seats - Amour, Kochadaman, Baisi, Jokihat and Bahadurganj.

After landing in Bihar on Tuesday, Mr. Owaisi said that the party cadre had been preparing for several weeks.

“The campaign has already begun under the leadership of Akhtarul Iman. We came in April and stated that we would contest the elections. The four-day programme in Seemanchal will entail visiting different Assembly constituencies. We will meet people there and organise public meetings,” he told reporters.
