Muslim Leaders Criticize SP and Congress Ahead of 2027 Uttar Pradesh Elections
Ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh elections, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi urged Muslims to become leaders rather than support the Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress, drawing criticism from both parties. Meanwhile, Muslim leaders have expressed dissatisfaction with SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, accusing him of exploiting the community and causing some to consider voting for Congress. The Congress has distanced itself from SP's exclusion of Apni Janta Party leader Swami Prasad Maurya, emphasizing efforts to strengthen the INDIA alliance ahead of upcoming polls.
