In a politically charged atmosphere, Shakeel Ahmed Khan, the Congress legislative party leader in Bihar, accused AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi of inadvertently bolstering the BJP's position in the Hindi heartland.

Khan, contesting in the Kadwa Assembly seat for a third time, expressed concerns over Owaisi's strategy, suggesting it undermines the pluralist society India aspires to uphold. He described Owaisi as a 'vote katwa'—a spoiler.
