All India Majlis‑e‑Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin O waisi was quick to call out RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav over a recent comment that described O waisi as an extremist. O waisi said the remark shows Yadav’s “mentality” and “hatred.” He made the point while touring Bihar’s Seemanchal region, where the Muslim‑majority district has long complained of neglect and discrimination.
O waisi, who is actively campaigning across Seemanchal, criticized both state and central governments for overlooking infrastructure and services. He blamed rival parties for spreading hatred and said the region’s people suffer from floods, land erosion, weak schools and a crumbling health system, while corruption remains rampant.
When asked about voting for Yadav, O waisi emphasized that political choices are a right for everyone. “People watch,” he said, “his words say that he thinks a beard or a turban equals extremism. That shows his true heart and his hateful mindset.”
The interview continued with O waisi defending his openness about faith. He said he speaks for the “One” in his prayers, because that is the foundation of Muslim solidarity. He contrasted this with leaders like Yadav and Rahul Gandhi, who he sees as avoiding faith issues.
In a question about local alliances, O waisi clarified that AIMIM is contesting seats with the Azad Samaj Party in Uttar Pradesh, not the Bahujan Samaj Party. He explained that the GDA alliance – a coalition with Swami Prasad Maurya – is the focus instead.
O waisi then compared Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav, calling the former a self‑made politician who came from the ground. He criticized Akhilesh for what he described as a lack of action during the Muzaffarnagar riots, noting that many Muslims were displaced and lost lives. O waisi said Akhilesh’s emphasis on “Muslim‑Yadav” was superficial.
Responding to criticism from Afzal Ansari, O waisi said Ansari didn’t understand how AIMIM works. He pointed out that the party’s offices are open to all, including Hindus and Dalits, and that their rights are protected by the Constitution’s guarantee of equality.
Lastly, O waisi described Tej Pratap Yadav, Lalu Yadav’s son, as part of a dysfunctional family politics that hampers Bihar’s unity. He argued that the Yadavs’ lack of internal harmony weakens their leadership.
The interview shows AIMIM’s stance as it takes center stage in Bihar’s contested politics, while all India concerns about faith, equality, and development weave through each conversation.
