Lucknow, November 12, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The Chandra Shekhar Aazad-led Azad Samaj Party-Kanshi Ram and Asaduddin Owaisi’s AIMIM on Thursday announced the formation of the ‘Samajik Parivartan Morcha’ for the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, naming Aazad as the alliance’s Chief Ministerial candidate.
Addressing a press conference, Aazad rejected the description of the alliance as a “Third Front”, calling it the “First Front”. He said the platform would become stronger for people who were oppressed, helpless, victimised and exploited.
Taking aim at the BJP government led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Aazad alleged that marginalised communities were facing atrocities, with encounters and bulldozers being used against them. He also criticised successive governments for failing to provide adequate education, healthcare and employment opportunities to the Bahujan community.
Aazad accused the Congress and Samajwadi Party of failing to remove the BJP from power despite repeated electoral opportunities since 2014. He said the alliance had decided to stop facing humiliation and offer a political alternative.
Owaisi described the Morcha as a strong alternative in Uttar Pradesh and said it would work to prevent the BJP from returning to power for a third term. He said backward and oppressed communities had long been treated merely as vote banks, while unemployment and farmers’ concerns remained unresolved.
Owaisi announced Aazad as the alliance’s Chief Ministerial candidate and said the partners would work together to ensure the alliance’s success and fulfil their commitments to the people.
