Keen to shed ‘vote-splitter’ tag, AIMIM makes alliance offer to Opposition for 2027 UP assembly polls

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.
