UP Polls 2027: Owaisi hits out at Akhilesh Yadav, says 'SP name should be changed to Samajwadi Yadav Parivar'

Politics continue to simmer in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh as AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday targeted Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, over representation of Muslim leaders in constituencies such as Azamgarh and Firozabad. Speaking at the rally in UP's Kairana, Owaisi said that Samajwadi Party’s name should be changed to ‘Samajwadi Yadav Parivar’. “Akhilesh Yadav, the name of your party should be changed from Samajwadi to Samajwadi Yadav Parivar,” Owaisi said while addressing a rally in Uttar Pradesh's Kairana district on Sunday. Hitting out at Yadav's brother Owaisi said, “There was a time when a Muslim used to win from Azamgarh. Now Akhilesh’s brother has become MP from there. There was a time when a Muslim MP became MP from Firozabad. Now Akhilesh’s family members became MP from there,” he added. Further, Owaisi criticised Akhilesh Yadav over the Muzaffarnagar riots, alleging that around 50,000 people were displaced from their homes during the violence when the Samajwadi Party was in power in Uttar Pradesh. “So tell me, the people of Muzaffarnagar and Kairana, isn't it true that when Akhilesh was the Chief Minister, right on this land, you, we, the world saw with our own eyes how the Muzaffarnagar riots happened. 50,000 people were driven out of their homes,” he said. Furthermore, Owaisi stressed that his party will make every effort to ensure that a BJP government is not formed in Uttar Pradesh. Owaisi said, "We will make every effort to ensure that a BJP government is not formed." He also said that his party does not want to see Yogi Adityanath becoming the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh for a third term. He added that if other opposition parties share this same objective, the AIMIM is ready to join hands with them. Owaisi criticised the opposition parties for "failing" to raise issues of minorities and other weaker sections of society. He also alleged that mosques were demolished and "half encounters" were continuing in the state under the BJP-led government, but the opposition parties were "silent" and not raising the issue.
