Sources say Janneeti Bharat, led by Divya Mittal, is in talks with Amitabh Thakur’s AAS to form a pre‑poll alliance ahead of Uttar Pradesh’s 2027 assembly elections.
Divya Mittal’s Janneeti Bharat, a relatively new political outfit in Uttar Pradesh, is reportedly negotiating an alliance with Amitabh Thakur’s Aam Aadmi Samaj (AAS). Both leaders have been seen meeting senior party functionaries and discussing a joint strategy for the state’s 2027 legislative assembly elections.
The upcoming polls are expected to be fiercely contested, with the Bharatiya Janata Party, Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party already positioning themselves for a multi‑cornered battle. In this context, smaller parties are looking for partnerships that can amplify their voter base and improve their chances of crossing the electoral threshold.
Analysts suggest that a Janneeti Bharat‑AAS tie‑up could consolidate anti‑incumbency sentiment among urban middle‑class voters and certain rural segments that are disillusioned with traditional parties. The combined outreach of Mittal’s policy‑focused campaign and Thakur’s grassroots activism may reshape vote calculations in key districts.
As of now, neither Janneeti Bharat nor AAS has issued an official statement confirming the alliance. Both camps say discussions are ongoing and a final decision will be taken after internal consultations and a review of the political landscape closer to the filing deadline.
