Akhilesh Yadav Meets Azam Khan in Jail to Discuss 2027 Uttar Pradesh Poll StrategyPreviousNext

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav visited senior leader Azam Khan in Rampur jail to discuss the party's 2027 election strategy and Khan's health. Yadav alleged that Khan's family has faced significant injustice, accusing the BJP of filing false cases against them. The visit follows political challenges from AIMIM's Asaduddin Owaisi, who questioned SP's commitment to Muslim voters. Yadav reaffirmed Azam Khan's importance to the party and emphasized social justice and defeating the BJP in upcoming polls.
