Owaisi's AIMIM denies reports suggesting alliance with Samajwadi Party in upcoming UP election 

Asaduddin Owaisi-led AIMIM on Sunday denied reports that suggested the party is planning to join hands with Samajwadi Party for the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls.

In response to reports suggesting the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) would be joining hands with the Samajwadi Party (SP) in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls in 2022, AIMIM Uttar Pradesh president Shaukat Ali said no such statement had been made by the party leadership. "We never said that AIMIM will go for alliance with Samajwadi Party if Akhilesh Yadav makes a Muslim leader the deputy chief minister if the party comes to power in Uttar Pradesh. We clearly deny the reports stating the same because neither I nor AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi made these statements," Shaukat Ali told news agency ANI.
