AIMIM Chief Owaisi Criticizes BJP, SP and Seeks Muslim Political Representation in UP
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi criticized the BJP and Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh for engaging in a 'staged fight,' alleging neglect of Muslim issues like mosque demolitions. He emphasized that Muslims should have political representation rather than be treated as a vote bank. Owaisi reiterated his party's offer to ally with opposition groups ahead of the 2027 assembly elections but warned AIMIM would contest independently if rejected. The Samajwadi Party's candidate choices and opposition parties' reluctance to support a major Muslim party were also highlighted.
