The four-day rally will run till September 27 and will see the Hyderabad MP holding road shows and corner meetings in constituencies in the Seemanchal region, the party said in a statement on Tuesday (September 23), PTI reported.
The yatra will begin from Kishanganj, Owaisi aimed at mobilizing public support around issues of development and justice for the region.
He has repeatedly flagged the backwardness of the Seemanchal region and had earlier tabled a private member’s bill in the Lok Sabha seeking the establishment of a Seemanchal region development council under Article 371 of the Indian Constitution.
In the 2020 Bihar Assembly elections, the AIMIM party contested 20 seats and won five, all from Seemanchal. The party said it is likely to contest in more constituencies this time, with many “influential political leaders and social workers” expressing interest in running on its list.

The deliberations follow Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Vote Adhikar Yatra’ and recent press conferences in which he accused the Election Commission of shielding those involved in suppressing votes of Congress supporters, a charge the election body dismissed as “incorrect and baseless”.
Allegations against ruling NDA leaders
Senior BJP leader and former Union minister RK Singh has urged Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary and JD(U) minister Ashok Choudhary to “tell the truth” about the allegations leveled by party founder Jan Suraaj Prashant Kishor or “resign”.
This added to the political heat in the state.
Kishor questioned Samrat Choudhary’s educational qualifications and alleged Ashok Choudhary’s involvement in questionable land purchases worth ₹200 million. He also accused BJP leader Dilip Jaiswal of irregularities in the acquisition of a minority college, according to PTI.
“If they have any evidence to dispute the allegations, they should present it and might even sue Prashant Kishor for defamation. If not, they should step down,” Singh added.
