All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi launched a sharp attack on the Samajwadi Party, alleging it practises “Yadavism” rather than socialism, while also signalling openness to pre-poll alliances ahead of upcoming elections in Uttar Pradesh.
Addressing a public meeting at the “Paigam-e-Ittehad” event in Najibabad, Owaisi said political parties have long denied Muslims leadership opportunities and urged the community to move beyond being treated only as voters.
“We are ready to form an alliance with any party. AIMIM is ready for dialogue. Now the discussion will be about sharing power, not just the carpet,” he said, adding that his party is preparing for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
He accused both the Samajwadi Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party of failing to address issues affecting Muslims, including youth unemployment and alleged irregularities in recruitment exams, citing paper leak controversies in Uttar Pradesh police recruitment.
Raising the issue of paper leaks in the UP Police recruitment exam, Owaisi said that the future of the youth has been compromised and the Yogi government in UP has failed to respond.
Referring to the controversy surrounding the Ram Temple Trust and donations, he said that if a Muslim had been made a member of the trust, any dispute would have been resolved by taking action against him.
Owaisi also criticised the handling of religious and institutional disputes, including matters related to the Ram Temple Trust, and alleged that Muslims were being politically marginalised.
Owaisi accused the BJP of playing communal politics. He said, "The Sambhal mosque has been 'martyrized.' Now, notices are being issued to other mosques as well. If Muslims remain only voters, their children's future will not improve. AIMIM is fighting to make people leaders."
He claimed that political parties have denied Muslims leadership for 70 years. He said that the BJP refuses to give Muslims tickets, while the Samajwadi Party has exploited them. He added that Muslims should not be reduced to mere voters.
Taking aim at the Election Commission, he said political parties must always remain prepared for elections, whether held on schedule or earlier than expected.
He said, "The Election Commission has the authority to conduct elections. If the Commission wishes, it can even hold elections ahead of schedule. The decision rests with the Election Commission, but political parties should be prepared for elections at all times.'
Owaisi said, “We don’t know when the elections will be held, but it is important to be fully prepared. This event has been organized in anticipation of the upcoming Assembly elections. We made it clear at the Matera meeting that our party is ready to form an alliance with anyone to prevent the BJP from coming to power.”
He said that his party has been working to strengthen its organization in Uttar Pradesh for many years. “We are preparing for the 2027 Assembly elections,” he added.
The AIMIM leader claimed his party has been strengthening its organisation in Uttar Pradesh for several years and is ready to play a larger role in shaping the state’s political landscape.
