'We Want To Defeat BJP': Asaduddin Owaisi On Samajik Parivartan Morcha

AIMIM chief and Member of Parliament Asaduddin Owaisi defended his newly formed Samajik Parivartan Morcha alliance with Chandrashekhar Azad's Azad Samaj Party in Uttar Pradesh, asserting that the front aims to halt the Bharatiya Janata Party. Dismissing allegations that the tie-up would merely divide secular votes to damage the Samajwadi Party and the Congress, he questioned whether any political entity holds a monopoly over voters. Owaisi highlighted past grievances, including Samajwadi Party taking away AIMIM legislators in Bihar, and emphasized that other opposition parties have repeatedly failed to halt the BJP across previous assembly and general elections. Rebuffing claims about previous low vote shares, he maintained that the alliance remains open to accommodating other parties to defeat the ruling government. Owaisi said, 'At least we have a clarity as far as our alliance is concerned, that we want to defeat BJP. We want to stop them from, from forming a government.' He also scrutinized the Samajwadi Party's track record on secularism during past administrations.
