Congress Criticises AIMIM‑Azad Samaj Party Alliance Ahead of UP Elections

The Congress party has taken a firm stance against the newly formed alliance between the All India Majlis‑ul‑Aqtab (AIMIM) and the Azad Samaj Party as the state prepares for the Uttar Pradesh elections. Party leaders have warned that the partnership could polarise voters and undermine secular politics in the region. They have urged voters to stay away from the coalition, citing concerns over communal rhetoric. The criticism comes as the alliance seeks to consolidate Muslim and minority votes ahead of the polls. Congress has reiterated its commitment to a united front against communal politics in Uttar Pradesh.
