RJD Mulls Alliance with AIMIM for Bihar Assembly Elections
The RJD party is thinking about teaming up with the AIMIM party to get more votes from Muslim voters in the next Bihar elections.
The AIMIM wants to join forces to make sure votes don't get split.
The RJD's leader, Lalu Prasad Yadav, will decide if they will form an alliance.
The BJP, however, doesn't think this will change things much.
In the last election, the AIMIM did well, but it might have hurt the RJD.
Now, everyone is watching to see what happens next in Bihar's politics.
RJD is considering an alliance with AIMIM to consolidate Muslim votes in the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections.
AIMIM has approached RJD and Congress to prevent a split in secular votes.
Lalu Prasad Yadav will make the final decision regarding the alliance.
BJP asserts the alliance will not impact the NDA's chances.
AIMIM won five seats in the 2020 Bihar elections, impacting RJD's performance.
