  1. AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi called for an alliance with the Opposition bloc ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh polls.

  2. In the 2022 Uttar Pradesh election, AIMIM got 0.49% of votes, contested 94 seats with smaller parties, and lost deposits on all.

  3. In Bihar's 2025 assembly polls, AIMIM won five seats in the 243-member House.

  4. Akhilesh Yadav has ignored Owaisi's call, and the Opposition alliance views him as a liability.

  5. Chief minister Yogi Adityanath's anti-Muslim stance may consolidate Muslim votes for Akhilesh Yadav's Opposition alliance.
