Asaduddin Owaisi, the chief of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen has offered to join hands with Opposition parties to prevent the ruling BJP from returning to power in the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. But in the same breath, he criticised the state's main opposition Samajwadi Party and its chief, reminding his audience that the Muzaffarnagar riots took place while they were in power. The Muslims of Uttar Pradesh, he said, needed a voice and only the AIMIM could fit that role.Owaisi, who made his pitch at a rally in Kanpur - held as part of his election campaign - packaged the offer with a deadline.
