KISHANGANJ, Oct. 16 -- The All India Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) has formed an alliance with the Azad Samaj Party (ASP) and Apni Janata Party (AJP) to contest the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. The coalition, named the Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA), announced to contest 64 seats. Later on Wedesday, the Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) led by former Union minister Pashupati Kumar Paras said that it would join the AIMIM bloc along with the Janata Congress Party, and the Bheem Army and contest all 243 seats in Bihar. The AIMIM didn't clarify on RLJP claim. Earlier on Wednesday, explaining the bloc, AIMIM's Bihar unit chief Akhtarul Iman said, "AIMIM will contest 35 seats, followed by ASP 25 and AJP 4 seats." Taking a dig at the two leading alliances of the state, INDIA bloc and NDA, Iman said, "The two have not yet finalised their seat deals but the AIMIM-led bloc will do so all before October 17 which is the last date for filing nomination for the first phase of election. Reacting over not including any Muslim name in the first list of candidates by the BJP and JD(U), Iman said, "This has exposed NDA, especially JDU." He said the GDA would fight against communalism and would strive hard for the prosperity of Seemanchal. Talking about chief minister Nitish Kumar, he said, "Sometimes he appears to be wise and sometimes very ordinary." Imam however didn't disclose names of candidates and said the candidates would be announced later. RLJP spokesperson Lallan Kumar Chandrawanshi said in Patna that the RLJP was also in talks with a few other smaller parties to boost the newly formed third front. The RLJP was formed in October 2021 after the split of the Lok Jansakti Party (LJP)....
