Owaisi Names Chandrashekhar Azad As CM Face For UP 2027, Launches New Front
A new political alliance is taking shape in Uttar Pradesh ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, with AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and Azad Samaj Party-Kanshiram president Chandrashekhar Azad joining hands to form the Samajik Parivartan Morcha. Owaisi has projected Azad as the alliance's chief ministerial face, while the two leaders say the front will represent marginalised and deprived communities. The alliance is reportedly eyeing around 150 seats and aims to bring Dalit and Muslim voters onto a common political platform, with the stated objective of preventing the BJP from returning to power for a third consecutive term.
