The full story of Owaisi UP Alliance Offer

AIMIM, led by Asaduddin Owaisi, offered a pre-poll alliance to Opposition parties in Uttar Pradesh for the 2027 assembly polls.

The party aims to shed its 'vote-splitter' tag and prevent the BJP from winning a third consecutive term in the state.

AIMIM state president Shaukat Ali cited the party's success in Bihar on five seats despite Opposition rejection, urging SP and INDIA bloc to avoid repeating that mistake.

Samajwadi Party responded cautiously, with spokesperson Abbas Haider noting that voters trust Akhilesh Yadav's leadership, but no official decision has been made.

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi offered an alliance to Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav to oust the BJP in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.

Owaisi made the offer during a rally in Moradabad, stating he is ready to 'join hands' or 'form an alliance' with the Samajwadi Party.

Owaisi said he does not want the BJP to continue in power for a third straight term in Uttar Pradesh, provided the Samajwadi Party ties up with AIMIM to avoid a vote split.

The Samajwadi Party is cautious about the offer because both parties appeal to the same voter base in the 403-seat assembly.

An alliance with AIMIM could consolidate Owaisi's party in Uttar Pradesh but is a critical decision for the Samajwadi Party.

Asaduddin Owaisi of AIMIM offered an alliance to Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav to prevent BJP from returning to power in Uttar Pradesh.
