Bihar Polls: AIMIM Slams 'Hypocrisy' Over Dy CM Pick, Asks 'What About 19% Muslims?' | India Today

This special report details the political controversy in the Bihar elections following the Mahagathbandhan’s announcement of Mukesh Saani as its Deputy Chief Minister face. The decision has drawn sharp attacks from AIMIM’s Waris Pathan and NDA’s Chirag Paswan for allegedly sidelining the state’s significant Muslim population. Pathan questioned the alliance’s social justice formula, stating, ‘a Sahani with two percent can become mukhyamantri (deputy chief minister) but the Muslim with nineteen percent has no whereabouts’. The AIMIM and Chirag Paswan have both accused the Grand Alliance of hypocrisy, questioning why the Nishad community, which accounts for roughly 2% of the population, was given a top post while the Muslim community, making up nearly 19%, was overlooked. This development has ignited a fierce debate on caste equations and representation in Bihar’s electoral politics.
