Akhilesh Yadav to Meet Azam Khan in Jail Ahead of 2027 Uttar Pradesh Polls
Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav plans to visit senior leader Azam Khan in Rampur jail to discuss the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. Azam Khan, imprisoned since November 2025 on multiple convictions including forgery, remains influential in the party, especially among Muslim voters. The visit follows concerns about party unity and minority support, with discussions expected on electoral strategy and alliances. While Akhilesh and Azam's family have expressed grievances over alleged government injustice and party neglect, Azam faces various criminal charges, reflecting complex political dynamics.
