'Don't cry later': Owaisi makes alliance offer to Akhilesh to oust BJP in UP polls
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.
