Shiv Senas Critique of Owaisi and Chandrashekhars Election Alliance: A History of Zero Seats
Shiv Sena questions the potential success of Owaisi and Chandrashekhars alliance, recalling their previous election failures.
New Delhi, November 12 (Daily Kiran) : Political tensions are rising in New Delhi as speculation mounts regarding the potential alliance between Asaduddin Owaisi and Chandrashekhar Azad‘s Bhim Army for upcoming elections in Uttar Pradesh. Shiv Sena spokesperson Krishna Hegde has sharply criticized this collaboration, recalling that both parties failed to secure any seats in the last election.
Hegde remarked, “In the previous election, AIMIM received zero seats, and so did Chandrashekhar Azad’s party. Zero plus zero equals zero.” He expressed skepticism about their chances for success this time around, arguing that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will continue to hold a decisive majority.
Responding to Owaisi’s statement that “Abdul will no longer be limited to just fixing bicycle tires; he can also become Chief Minister,” Hegde pointed out that some individuals wish to confine community members to limited roles. However, he emphasized that figures like Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and Mohammad Azharuddin have risen to prominent positions in the country.
Hegde further stated that there are those who prefer to keep their communities in poverty, while others aim for progress and higher achievements.
On the topic of the potential reunion of the two factions within Shiv Sena, Hegde commented, “This is an internal matter for the NCP. Whether both parties will come together is a decision for their leaders. Supriya Sule and Sharad Pawar will determine the outcome, and as Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has mentioned, there have been no discussions on this matter.”
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party MP Mohibullah Nadvi asserted that under Akhilesh Yadav’s leadership, the SP stands strong for social justice in Uttar Pradesh. He noted that the party’s organizational strength has reached unprecedented levels, making it the third-largest party in the country.
He added that while smaller political maneuvers may occur, they will have little impact on the robust alliances formed against the BJP. Nadvi believes that the coalition is capable of challenging the BJP, although achieving victory remains a significant hurdle.
