AIMIM Releases First List for Bihar Elections

While releasing the first list for the Bihar Assembly elections in Kishanganj, AIMIM’s state president Akhtarul Iman said, “AIMIM Bihar tried to prevent the division of secular votes and unite against communal forces, but the major alliance parties did not cooperate. As a result, a third alliance has been formed.”
He further said that AIMIM will contest elections in four districts of Kishanganj. Apart from that, the party will field its candidates in several seats of districts like Purnia, Katihar, Araria, Gaya, Motihari, Nawada, Jamui, Bhagalpur, Siwan, Darbhanga, Samastipur, Sitamarhi, Madhubani, Vaishali, and Gopalganj.
