AIMIM spokesperson warns of anti‑BJP alliance, vows independent contest

Speaking about the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly elections, Waris Pathan said that AIMIM is prepared to join a broad coalition aimed at defeating the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He emphasized the party’s resolve to prevent a third consecutive term for a government driven by a Hindutva agenda.
