Asaduddin Owaisi, leader of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), announced his party's alliance with Humayun Kabir's Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP) for the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections. The alliance signifies a new political grouping of minority forces in West Bengal and aims to challenge the Trinamool Congress' hold on the Muslim vote bank. Mr. Kabir, a former Trinamool Congress MLA, has gained prominence by advocating for a mosque modeled after the Babri Masjid. He announced his party's candidates for various constituencies, including Bhabanipur and Nandigram, while also exploring seat-sharing agreements with other parties like the CPI(M) and ISF.
