Suspended TMC leader Humayun Kabir's newly-launched Janata Unnayan Party (JUP) plans to contest 182 seats in the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections. Kabir expressed a desire to form an electoral alliance with Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM and the Indian Secular Front (ISF), aiming to prevent the BJP's victory. He criticized Mamata Banerjee's government for allegedly betraying the Muslim community and expressed confidence in his party's ability to influence government formation.
