AIMIM has forged an alliance in Uttar Pradesh and named Chandrashekhar Azad as its chief ministerial candidate. The new third front is called the Samajik Parivartan Morcha. Leaders of the grouping said seat negotiations are largely finalised.
The front is pitching itself as a strong political alternative for Uttar Pradesh voters against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. Its leaders flagged youth unemployment, conditions in schools and hospitals, and farmer distress, including fertilizer shortages, as the issues driving the platform.
Asked whether the Samajwadi Party and Congress might come on board, the alliance pointed to Azad's invitation to opposition parties. He had asked them to join the platform with the aim of defeating the BJP.
