This is a major jolt to AIMIM as now the party has only one MLA — Akhtarul Iman from Amaur — in the Bihar Assembly.
However, AIMIM leader Akhtarul Imam had recently said that being a small party in Bihar, big parties are approaching our party MLAs after the result of the 2020 assembly elections.
The RJD currently has 76 MLAs in the Bihar Assembly while the BJP has 77. With this defection, RJD will have 80 MLAs in the Assembly.
