New Delhi: All-India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi has announced his backing for the newly formed Samajik Parivartan Morcha, alongside Chandrashekhar Azad, positioning the alliance as a key force to counter the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. Owaisi asserted that this political front represents the primary vehicle capable of challenging and stopping the BJP and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
During his address, Owaisi appealed directly to followers and ideological supporters of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and Ram Manohar Lohia to unite behind the platform. He also directed criticism toward Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, specifically questioning his political moves including a recent visit to Ayodhya, and dismissed the opposition party's PDA slogan by accusing leadership of frequently shifting stances.
Meanwhile, the political sparring extended to the BJP, which launched counter-attacks against the Samajwadi Party by accusing its leadership of promoting dynastic politics and keeping crucial party roles concentrated within family circles. The developments come as political alignments take shape across Uttar Pradesh ahead of the electoral contest.
