A new political front has been launched 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 declared Chandrashekhar Azad as the alliance's Chief Ministerial face. The alliance says it will represent marginalised and deprived communities and aims to prevent the BJP from returning to power for a third consecutive term.
