Dalit-AIMIM Alliance: Owaisi Backs Chandrashekhar Azad for UP Polls

What's behind this

The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) and the Azad Samaj Party have announced an alliance to contest 150 seats in the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly election, naming Chandrashekhar Azad as the chief ministerial candidate. The partnership, described as ‘Samajik Parivartan Morcha’, comes after AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi’s earlier attempts to join the broader opposition alliance failed. Owaisi said the alliance will focus on issues of backward and Dalit communities and other oppressed groups, accusing parties of using these voters merely as vote banks. The move is presented as a challenge to the BJP’s third consecutive win.
