Owaisi offers UP alliance to Akhilesh Yadav ahead of polls
Asaduddin Owaisi, Lok Sabha MP from Hyderabad, offered an alliance to Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav during a rally in Moradabad. Owaisi stated it was "the time to talk" and urged Yadav not to "cry after the polls." He expressed readiness to "join hands" or "form an alliance" with the Samajwadi Party to contest the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. The Samajwadi Party may approach the offer cautiously, as both parties target a similar voter base in the 403-seat assembly.
