LUCKNOW — All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi and Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) leader Chandrashekhar Azad formalized a political alliance in Lucknow on Thursday, establishing a new coalition ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.
The collaborative platform aims to consolidate minority and Dalit voter bases, presenting an electoral alternative independent of both the ruling government and the primary opposition bloc.
Core Agenda and Regional Focus
The coalition leaders emphasized a platform centred on socio-economic development and political representation:
-
Socio-Economic Priorities: Leaders highlighted pressing issues facing younger demographics, including youth unemployment, agricultural concerns, and the economic security of marginalized sections of society.
-
Target Demographics: The partnership focuses on constituencies in western Uttar Pradesh and other regions where Scheduled Castes and minority communities hold substantial numerical strength, seeking to reshape traditional electoral equations across the state.
