AIMIM Leader Syed Asim Waqar Reportedly Set to Join Congress Ahead of UP Elections
Ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, AIMIM leader Syed Asim Waqar is reportedly set to join the Congress along with his team, potentially impacting Asaduddin Owaisi's party. While there is no formal confirmation from Congress, sources indicate the move could weaken AIMIM's position in the state. Waqar, who has served as AIMIM's national spokesperson and was previously with the Samajwadi Party, is said to have been influenced by Congress leaders, including Imran Pratapgarhi. The Congress-Samajwadi alliance may benefit from this development.
