Bihar Election News | Prashant Kishor Vs Tejashwi In Raghopur, AIMIM to Contest 100 Seats in Bihar

Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor hit the campaign trail in Raghopur, the home turf of RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, promising a high-stakes battle that could become a defining contest in Bihar politics. Kishor, drawing a crowd of enthusiastic supporters, vowed to replicate Rahul Gandhi’s 2019 Amethi-style upset, signaling his intent to challenge Tejashwi directly in his stronghold. The AIMIM, led by Asaduddin Owaisi, announced plans to contest around 100 seats in the upcoming Bihar assembly elections, seeking to emerge as a “third alternative” to both the BJP-led NDA and the Congress-RJD alliance. The party claims previous overtures to join the INDIA bloc went unanswered, prompting a solo push to expand its footprint, particularly in Muslim-dominated regions like Seemanchal.
