Lucknow: A major political development has emerged in Uttar Pradesh as the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) and the Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) announced an alliance for the upcoming 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
During a joint press conference held in Lucknow, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and Azad Samaj Party president Chandrashekhar Azad officially announced their alliance. The leaders revealed that the new alliance will be called the “Samajik Parivartan Morcha.”
Asaduddin Owaisi proposed Chandrashekhar Azad’s name as the Chief Ministerial candidate of the alliance. The leaders announced that the alliance will field candidates in all 403 Assembly constituencies of Uttar Pradesh.
The alliance leaders said that their primary objective is to prevent the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from returning to power for a third consecutive term in the state. They stated that the new front aims to emerge as an alternative political force to the BJP and Samajwadi Party.
Chandrashekhar Azad said that the alliance will work for the rights of Dalits, Muslims, and other backward communities. He promised that if their government comes to power, priority will be given to free education up to Class 12, better healthcare facilities, and employment opportunities for youth.
Asaduddin Owaisi clarified that differences over seat-sharing arrangements were the reason behind not joining the opposition INDIA bloc. The alliance leaders also said that other parties with similar political views will be invited to join the Samajik Parivartan Morcha in the future.
With the formation of this new alliance, the political contest for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections is expected to become more competitive.
