Akhilesh Yadav is the only leader to oust BJP in 2027, says SP MP
Samajwadi Party MP Awadhesh Prasad dismissed speculation regarding a potential alliance between Asaduddin Owaisi and Chandrashekhar Azad.
Samajwadi Party (SP) MP Awadhesh Prasad said on Thursday that Akhilesh Yadav is the only leader capable of removing the BJP from power in the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, according to reports by ANI and The News Mill.
Prasad stated that speculation about a possible alliance between Asaduddin Owaisi and the party of Chandrashekhar Azad held "no real significance." He asserted that the people of Uttar Pradesh have lost faith in the BJP government.
Prasad maintained that while any party in a democracy is free to form alliances or contest independently, such political moves cannot change the decisions of the people. He added that the SP, the INDIA alliance, and the PDA have the public's trust.
SP spokesperson Ashutosh Verma remarked that parties can form alliances regardless of whether their ideologies align. He said the party is aware of the proposed alliance and will observe how the situation develops.
Verma stated that the SP is acting as the main opposition and intends to establish a government in the upcoming elections. He noted that the party remains focused on providing a better state for the people of Uttar Pradesh.
The electoral landscape in Uttar Pradesh includes a Muslim population of approximately 19 per cent and Scheduled Castes at around 21 per cent. AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi has sought to expand his party's presence beyond Telangana into states with significant Muslim populations.
