Lucknow, November 13, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Aazad Samaj Party-Kanshi Ram president Chandra Shekhar Aazad on Friday claimed that leaders of parties belonging to both the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the INDIA Bloc had contacted him, expressing interest in joining the Samajik Parivartan Morcha alliance for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
Speaking to IANS, Aazad said a constituent party of the NDA had expressed willingness to contest alongside his alliance, subject to being given due respect. He said he had told its representatives that he would consult existing alliance partners before taking the discussion forward.
He also claimed that senior leaders of an INDIA Bloc constituent party had contacted him, expressing willingness to join the broader alliance to help defeat the BJP. Aazad said his alliance was open to such proposals.
The Samajik Parivartan Morcha was formed by the Aazad Samaj Party-Kanshi Ram and Asaduddin Owaisi’s AIMIM, with Aazad declared as its chief ministerial candidate. He had earlier said that the doors were open for other Opposition parties to join the alliance.
Responding to Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav’s remarks welcoming the alliance while advocating a ‘Rajnaitik Parivartan Morcha’ for true success, Aazad said he congratulated him on his analysis.
Aazad reiterated that his political fight was against the BJP-led NDA and said he had also extended an offer to the Samajwadi Party. He added that if the SP could contest elections in Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand or Jammu, his party had every right to contest with full strength in Uttar Pradesh.
“We will fight, we will win, and we will raise the voices of the marginalised,” he said, adding that his party would continue to champion their issues rather than approach them only for votes.
