Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) chief and Nagina MP Chandra Shekhar Aazad on Friday emphasised that his battle is against the ruling party in Uttar Pradesh and not the opposition, and asserted that the new alliance — Samajik Parivartan Morcha (SPM) — will abet the ouster of BJP.All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi and Aazad on Thursday announced the new alliance for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, inviting the Samajwadi Party, Congress and other parties to join hands to prevent the BJP from returning to power for a third consecutive term.
At a press conference here on Thursday, the two leaders said the SPM would provide an independent political platform to deprived, oppressed and marginalised communities. Speaking to PTI Videos on Friday, Aazad said, “I do not wish to fight against the opposition. The battle is against the ruling party. We have resolved to uproot the BJP. This alliance will drive the final nail into the BJP’s coffin.”
He said those who were once marginalised will now receive the respect they deserve. “In Uttar Pradesh, those deprived of their rights — the backward classes, Dalits, and even individuals from the ‘general’ category, all those who have faith in the Constitution — will gain meaningful opportunities and access to essential services,” Aazad said.
“Together, we will build a better state,” he asserted. Attacking Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, he said the affairs in Uttar Pradesh are such that opposition leaders cannot even visit a grieving family. “A chief minister who claims to be the custodian of Hindu faith allows bodies of young girls to be cremated in the dead of night, whereas according to ‘Sanatan’ tradition, last rites should not be performed after sunset, specifically, not after 5.00 pm. There are so many such incidents, I could recount.
“The wounds of Hathras are still fresh in my memory,” he said. Aazad also claimed he has been “receiving many calls” since last night. “One party from the NDA coalition also reached out, saying if we offer them an adequate share, they would like to join us and fight together. I told them that I would consult alliance partners and respond soon.
“A party from the INDIA bloc also called, expressing desire to join us and further strengthen this alliance, which will give a viable alternative in Uttar Pradesh,” Aazad said. The Nagina MP said the ‘Bahujan Swaraj Sankalp Mahasammelan’ has been scheduled for November 26 — on the occasion of Constitution Day.
“It will be a historic convention, and the participation will hint at the transformation that is set to take place in Uttar Pradesh. We are confident that we will completely wipe out the BJP,” he asserted. Attacking the BJP, Aazad said, “They promised to eradicate poverty, provide employment, and break the back of inflation; instead, they have broken the backs of the poor. They have left people unemployed.
“They made grand promises to alleviate the financial condition of people, but through excessive taxation compounded with the burden of various levies and GST, they have created a dire situation — whether for traders or farmers.” “If I speak specifically of Uttar Pradesh, unemployed youths are being driven to suicide. There is no guarantee of a minimum support price (MSP) for any crop. The procurement price for sugarcane remains stagnant, while the price of sugar has soared. There hasn’t been a single recruitment that wasn’t marred by a scam,” he added.
Aazad said the Samajik Parivartan Morcha aims to bring about a change in power, ultimately ushering hope into people’s lives. “We aim to establish a robust education system, improve the healthcare sector, create employment and put an end to the injustices being inflicted upon people,” he asserted.
