As theories swirled about the sharply dressed stranger in the “Fedora Man” shot — detective, insider, AI fake — he decided to stay silent and…

Five years after AIMIM shocked political observers by winning five Seemanchal seats in 2020, Owaisi has returned with an intensified push to consolidate Muslim voters and expand his footprint. That emergence has put both the NDA and the Mahagathbandhan on the defensive: neither alliance can take Seemanchal’s vote bloc for granted. Demographics explain the strategic urgency. Kishanganj alone is roughly two-thirds Muslim, and Katihar, Araria and Purnia…
