The West Bengal unit of Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM party is optimistic for an alliance with Humayun Kabir, the Trinamool rebel MLA who has emerged as a key minority voice in the run-up to next year's state elections.
Talks are currently underway between the two sides, AIMIM's Bengal unit chief Imran Solani said during an exclusive interview with NDTV, sounding confident of a tie-up on some seats in Bengal.
