“Our alliance is open for the SP-Congress,” Chandrashekhar Azad

Lucknow: Political activity is escalating in Uttar Pradesh ahead of next year’s assembly elections. AIMIM and the Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) have jointly announced a third front in the state. Azad Samaj Party chief Chandrashekhar Azad described it as a front for social and political change in the state. He said the alliance is preparing to contest all 403 seats strongly.

Chandrashekhar Azad said that the people of Uttar Pradesh have previously witnessed the rule of the weaker sections. The extent of the changes in the condition of the weaker sections and backward classes over the past several years can be seen on the ground. He targeted the government, saying that when questions are raised on issues like unemployment, social justice, education, and health, the government starts talking about religion being in danger.

He said that it is important to worry about the future of Uttar Pradesh’s approximately 250 million population, especially the youth. There should also be discussion on whether farmers are getting a fair price for sugarcane, whether women are getting employment and a respectable life. Furthermore, the government should also answer for incidents like injustice against the poor, caste-based atrocities, rape, and murder.

A Strong Alliance Needed to Challenge the BJP
Chandrashekhar Azad made it clear that his alliance is not closing its doors to anyone at this time. His doors are open to all. He stated that whether it is the Lok Sabha or Assembly elections, the opposition parties have failed to defeat the BJP. He said that a strong alliance is needed to challenge the BJP.

Doors Open for the SP-Congress
He clearly stated that this is the only option in the future. The old parties are no longer an option. He said, “If the old parties were an option, they would have defeated the BJP.” He said that his alliance has also kept the doors open for the Samajwadi Party and the Congress. If these parties want to come together, they can contest elections together. Chandrashekhar claimed that his alliance will work to provide employment to the youth and justice to the weak.
