Owaisi offers alliance to Akhilesh to prevent BJP's third term in UP

AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi extended an alliance offer to Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav at a rally in Moradabad, ahead of the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. Owaisi said he is willing to join hands with the SP to prevent the BJP from winning a third consecutive term in the 403-seat assembly. The offer comes with strategic complications, as both parties largely compete for the same voter base. Owaisi also dismissed the recurring accusation that AIMIM acts as the BJP's 'B-team', framing the proposed tie-up as a means to avoid vote-splitting. The SP is expected to approach the offer cautiously given the overlapping constituencies both parties target.
