AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi criticised the BJP and Congress in Jaipur, saying Rajasthan needs a robust third alternative and that the party’s alliance with Hanuman Beniwal’s RLP will go beyond local body polls.
Asaduddin Owaisi, the national president of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), addressed a gathering in Jaipur and launched a sharp attack on both the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Indian National Congress. He argued that the two dominant parties have failed to address the aspirations of Rajasthan's electorate, creating a vacuum for a credible third force.
Owaisi emphasized that the state requires a strong alternative that can challenge the entrenched bipolar politics. He highlighted the recent cooperation between AIMIM and Hanuman Beniwal's Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP), stating that the partnership is intended to be more than a tactical arrangement for municipal elections.
The AIMIM leader said the alliance will contest upcoming state and parliamentary polls, aiming to offer voters a viable third option. He called on other regional and community leaders to join the effort, presenting it as a movement to reshape Rajasthan's political landscape.
While no specific electoral timetable was provided, Owaisi’s remarks signal a strategic push to broaden AIMIM’s presence in the state, positioning the party as a potential king‑maker in future contests.
