Five MLAs from AIMIM who recently registered victory in Bihar Assembly polls met party chief Asaduddin Owaisi in Hyderabad on Thursday.

Bihar AIMIM chief Akhtarul Imam, who won from Amour constituency in Bihar expressed hope that the party's tally will increase to 25 in the future from five.

"We will fight for justice, whoever forms the government, we are ready to serve the people. If people of our constituency are paying taxes then they will have an equal share in the development. People have chosen us, we will surely be the voice of the people," Imam told ANI.

"You visit the constituency you will find that there is no development at all since the time of independence. There are no schools, hospitals and other basic development is not yet fulfilled. We shall work for it at first. Now we are five, we shall turn twenty-five in future," he said.
