Exclusive: AIMIM Holds the Key in Bihar’s Rajya Sabha 2026 – The High-Stakes Game for the 5th Seat

Patna, February 21, 2026: Voting for the 2026 Rajya Sabha elections in Bihar is scheduled for March 16. While most seats seem straightforward for the major alliances, the contest for the fifth seat has turned into a high-stakes political chess game. Neither the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) nor the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) has an outright advantage, placing Asaduddin Owaisi’s AIMIM in a pivotal position. NDA’s Position The NDA, led by the BJP and JDU, can comfortably secure four Rajya Sabha seats using their assembly strength. However, the fifth seat poses a challenge.
