Azad Samaj Party and AIMIM to join hands for UP polls

Lucknow, Nov 11 (UNI) Azad Samaj Party led by Nagina MP Chandrashekhar Azad and AIMIM of Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi are set to join hands to contest the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls in an alliance.

The alliance plans to contest all 403 assembly seats in the state. However, some smaller regional political outfits could join this alliance.
The announcement of the new front could be made on Thursday.
Political observers say that the UP elections have so far been considered a contest between the BJP-led NDA and the Samajwadi Party-led INDIA Alliance, but the announcement of the alliance between Owaisi and Chandrashekhar's parties could create new political equations in the state.

Previously, Owaisi had expressed a desire to join the INDI Alliance in UP, a decision Akhilesh Yadav had rejected. This alliance could attempt to consolidate the 40 per cent Dalit and Muslim vote bank in the state, potentially posing challenges to the INDI Alliance as well as to the NDA in some seats.
Azad Samaj Party President Chandrashekhar Azad is continuously trying to strengthen his influence among Dalits in the state. At the same time, the Samajwadi Party is also trying to take advantage of the Bahujan Samaj Party's weakening in the state.
In such a situation, an alliance of Owaisi, Chandrashekhar Azad, and other smaller parties could create new equations in the state and pose a challenge to the INDI Alliance.
