Owaisi Criticizes Akhilesh Yadav Over Alliance Ruling Out in UP Assembly Elections

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi's statement comes after Akhilesh Yadav ruled out an alliance with AIMIM ahead of the UP Assembly elections. He said, "We have made our stand clear and have also given the example of Bihar, we want Muslims to have their own political identity." In Lucknow on Sunday, Owaisi hit out at SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, saying, "The SP chief is upset with our words. We say we will not lay a carpet for him, and we are not a vote bank. We should get our due. We say Muslims should have their own political power. Those who do not believe in this truth have a problem with it." Owaisi has not made it clear at the moment that there is any possibility of an alliance. He had come to address a public meeting in Shravasti. Just then, he discussed with the media at the airport. AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi speaks on alliance in UP assembly polls. Akhilesh Yadav is also an ID7 candidate.
