AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday announced that Azad Samaj Party (Kanshiram) president Chandrashekhar Azad will be the chief ministerial face of the newly formed Samajik Parivartan Morcha (SPM) for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. Addressing a joint press conference in Lucknow, Owaisi said the alliance aims to provide a strong political alternative and prevent the BJP from returning to power in the state for a third consecutive term. He expressed confidence that the partnership would emerge as a significant force in Uttar Pradesh politics.

Owaisi said the Samajik Parivartan Morcha would work for the welfare of backward classes, Dalits and other marginalised communities, accusing mainstream political parties of treating these groups merely as vote banks for years. He added that the alliance would focus on key public issues, including unemployment, the condition of education in the state and the challenges faced by farmers. According to Owaisi, the success of the alliance would represent the aspirations of the people of Uttar Pradesh rather than those of any single political party.

Calling on people to participate in a public meeting scheduled for November 26, Owaisi said the gathering would mark the beginning of a broader movement for social and political change in the state. He asserted that while other parties represented the politics of the past, the Samajik Parivartan Morcha intended to focus on the future by offering a new direction for Uttar Pradesh. He also appealed to voters to support Chandrashekhar Azad and the alliance in their effort to build what he described as a better future for the state.
