Lucknow:
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi will campaign in Uttar Pradesh today. What is this relationship between Akhilesh Yadav and Asaduddin Owaisi called? Perhaps only both the leaders know the answer to this. Owaisi is coming to UP to maintain the same relationship with full dedication, that too after leaving the election campaign in Maharashtra. AIMIM Chief is coming to the same Meerapur where Akhilesh Yadav also has a road show. What connection does fate have? The election meeting of Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh was scheduled for 16th November. But due to bad weather, Akhilesh’s helicopter could not fly. Now, at the same time when Owaisi will hold an election rally in Meerapur, Akhilesh’s road show is also taking place.
After 11 years, Owaisi raised the issue of Muzaffarnagar riots
While campaigning in Maharashtra, Asaduddin Owaisi had made his agenda regarding UP clear. These days he is soft on Congress but tough on Samajwadi Party. After eleven years he has again raised the issue of Muzaffarnagar riots. In the election rally in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, he made many allegations against Akhilesh Yadav. He said that Akhilesh had left the Muslims to their fate during the riots. At that time Akhilesh Yadav was the Chief Minister of UP. After the riots, Owaisi also visited Muzaffarnagar. Taking a jibe at Akhilesh, Owaisi had said – Muslims are just vote banks for Samajwadi Party.
AIMIM is contesting elections on three seats in UP
AIMIM is contesting on three assembly seats in the UP by-elections. Kundarki seat of Ghaziabad, Mirapur and Moradabad. Asaduddin Owaisi will campaign only in Mirapur and Kundarki. Muslim voters dominate both these assembly seats. In Kundarki there are 65% Muslim voters. In the last assembly elections, Owaisi’s party had got around fourteen thousand votes on this seat. Who is the real leader of Muslims? This is the real issue. Owaisi says that Akhilesh Yadav takes votes of Muslims, but does not give them a share in power. His allegation has been that Muslims just spread carpets in Samajwadi Party.
Latest round of Owaisi vs Akhilesh
The latest round of Owaisi vs Akhilesh contest has a connection with Maharashtra. There are two MLAs of AIMIM. One is from Malegaon and the other from Dhule. This time Akhilesh Yadav has fielded Samajwadi Party candidates on both these seats. Not only this, Akhilesh even went to both the places and campaigned. At the same time, Owaisi had also decided to try his luck in the UP by-elections. In the last Lok Sabha elections, Owaisi campaigned in UP but did not field any candidate.
Why was there conflict between Akhilesh and Owaisi?
This is about those days when Akhilesh Yadav was the Chief Minister of UP. Asaduddin Owaisi tried to organize programs at many places during his government. But every time they were not allowed to hold meetings in the name of deteriorating law and order situation. Since that time there is a tussle between Akhilesh Yadav and Owaisi. The President of Samajwadi Party feels that AIMIM is the B team of BJP. Owaisi’s campaigning leads to communal polarization. Although Owaisi’s party has contested elections from Assembly to Panchayat in UP, however it has not achieved much success. But who knows whom and when the public will put on the throne. In the election of Mayor of Meerut, BJP faced Owaisi’s party. Akhilesh’s party was out of the contest. This time Owaisi is coming to UP with this intention. The campaign for the assembly by-elections in UP will end tomorrow evening. This time by-elections are being held on nine seats. The most interesting contest is on the last day of the campaign.
Owaisi vs Akhilesh Yadav battle
Tomorrow both the leaders are campaigning in Meerapur seat of Muzaffarnagar. AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi is coming to campaign in UP by-elections for the first time. His party is contesting elections on three seats. In Maharashtra, Owaisi had accused Akhilesh Yadav of leaving Muslims to fend for themselves during the Muzaffarnagar riots.
CM Yogi out of UP on the last day of campaigning
Here, for the first time in this by-election, Akhilesh Yadav’s MP wife Dimple Yadav will come out of Karhal and hold a road show in Kanpur today. Naseem Solanki is contesting from Samajwadi Party from Sisamau assembly seat here. Akhilesh Yadav will hold a road show in Meerapur. Whereas UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will be in Jharkhand on the last day of the campaign. He will hold election rallies in Rajmahal, Jamtara and Deoghar. Of the nine assembly seats in UP for which voting is on November 20, three were held by BJP, four by Samajwadi Party and one seat each by BJP’s allies RLD and Nishad Party. There is an alliance between Samajwadi Party and Congress in this election. But Congress is not contesting the elections.
