Owaisi Proposes Alliance to Akhilesh Yadav Ahead of Uttar Pradesh Elections
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has offered a pre-poll alliance to Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, urging early talks to prevent vote splitting and the BJP's return to power. While Owaisi emphasized a fight for justice and equality, the Samajwadi Party has expressed reservations about the alliance due to overlapping voter bases. The BJP criticized the proposal as vote-bank politics, with spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala mocking the alliance offer as a 'friendship request.'
