Owaisi says AIMIM will compete from Tamil Nadu, joining an alliance to be decided


AIMIM Tamil Nadu state president Vakeel Ahmed says they are in contact with other political parties for an alliance.

The recent success in the Bihar elections has surely given All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) renewed confidence. The party is preparing the ground to participate in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections next year. After successfully participating in the elections in Bihar, when asked if the party would compete in West Bengal, the party chief, Asaduddin Owaisi, stated that they would not only compete in West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh, but also where MIM can become The voice of the voiceless .

Speaking to TNM, Vakeel Ahmed, president of AIMIM in the state of Tamil Nadu, said the party is conducting a survey in the state. He said: “A survey is being conducted to identify where we can all fight and win. We will compete approximately 25 to 30 seats. In the north of Tamil Nadu, we have a fortress. In Madurai, Krishnagiri, Vellore and Tirupattur we are receiving good support. We had played from the Vaniyambadi seat the last time. “

Asaduddin Owaisi told TNM that the party has not yet determined the number of seats it will contest. When asked about a possible alliance in Tamil Nadu, he said: “The political equations in the state will be decided by the state unity of the party.”

There have already been allegations that Owaisi’s party is a vote divider, especially in states like Tamil Nadu and Kerala, where political parties that represent the interests of the Muslim community already exist. Reacting to this accusation, Owaisi said: “Whatever we do, we will be blamed. Blaming me is not a problem at all for me. We will have to wait and see what happens with respect to any alliance. “

Speaking about a possible alliance in Tamil Nadu, Vakeel Ahmed said: “We are in talks with some political parties. The AIADMK is not even an option, as it is in alliance with the BJP. A third front is also a possibility. We are in talks, everything will be revealed at the right time. “
