AIMIM political activities and strategy in India

Overview

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi continues to expand his party’s influence and critique governance across India. In Rajasthan, he has advocated for a third political alternative, signaling support for Rashtriya Loktantrik Party leader Hanuman Beniwal should he establish himself as a third force to challenge the BJP and Congress. Owaisi has also criticized the Rajasthan government regarding civic infrastructure, noting poor sanitation and inadequate waste processing in Jaipur’s Walled City, while raising concerns over school safety and healthcare accessibility. In Uttar Pradesh, Owaisi is actively shaping strategy for the 2027 Assembly elections. He has repeatedly offered to form alliances with other opposition parties to prevent the BJP from securing a third consecutive term, though he has characterized the relationship between the BJP and Samajwadi Party (SP) as a “noora kushti” (staged fight). He maintains that AIMIM refuses to be a mere “vote bank” and demands genuine political identity. He has proposed a “99% against 1%” framework to reframe the political contest around economic inequality rather than communal divides. Owaisi has intensified his critique of the SP, accusing the party of prioritizing dynastic politics. He suggested the SP should rename itself the “Samajwadi Yadav Parivar,” alleging that political seats in regions like Azamgarh and Firozabad, which previously saw Muslim representation, are now dominated by the Yadav family. He specifically challenged Akhilesh Yadav regarding the lack of institutional development in Azamgarh compared to the Yadav family’s Saifai constituency. In Rampur, he called for independent Muslim leadership, arguing the community should no longer depend on political dynasties like the Nehru, Gandhi, or Yadav families. He has also held the previous SP government accountable for the displacement of people during the Muzaffarnagar riots.
