Differing responses from Congress and Samajwadi Party leaders have highlighted varying approaches within the Opposition camp regarding the possible role of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) in the run-up to the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.

The discussion gained momentum after AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi launched his party’s campaign preparations for the 2027 elections from Bahraich and reiterated that his party is open to alliances, provided it is treated with respect and as an equal partner.

Different responses from Congress and SP

Reacting to questions about a possible understanding with AIMIM, Congress leader Imran Masood said any decision on alliances would be taken by the party leadership. He also stressed that there could be no compromise with communalism.

On the other hand, Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav adopted a more accommodating tone, stating that anyone capable of defeating the BJP would be welcome. His remarks were viewed as leaving the door open to broader anti-BJP political cooperation.

The differing responses have drawn attention as Opposition parties continue to assess their electoral strategies ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.

AIMIM steps up preparations

AIMIM has begun expanding its campaign activity in Uttar Pradesh, with Owaisi launching the party’s preparations from Bahraich. The Hyderabad MP has indicated that AIMIM is willing to consider alliances but has maintained that any partnership must be based on mutual respect and equality.

The party is also working to strengthen its organisational presence in the state as it seeks a larger role in Uttar Pradesh politics ahead of the next Assembly election.

No formal alliance announced

Despite the ongoing discussion, no formal alliance or seat-sharing arrangement involving AIMIM and major Opposition parties has been announced so far.

With more than a year remaining before the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, political equations are expected to evolve as parties finalise their strategies and alliance plans.

Delhi weather update

A powerful dust storm swept across Delhi on Monday, bringing strong winds, reduced visibility and a sudden change in weather conditions across the national capital. Wind speeds reportedly reached 92 kmph in some areas as dark clouds and blowing dust engulfed parts of the city. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a red alert, warning residents about severe weather conditions and urging them to take necessary precautions.

The storm was accompanied by thunderstorms and rain in several parts of Delhi-NCR. The sudden weather activity provided relief from the prevailing heat but also raised concerns over potential disruptions to transport and power infrastructure. According to the weather department, strong surface winds and thunderstorms were expected to continue for several hours.

Red alert issued for severe weather

A red alert is issued when weather conditions pose a significant threat to life and property and require immediate action. The IMD advised people to remain indoors where possible, avoid weak structures, stay away from trees and electric poles, and refrain from taking shelter in open areas during the storm.

Weather officials said the intense conditions were linked to atmospheric instability over northwest India, influenced by weather systems affecting the region. Similar episodes of thunderstorms, heavy rain and strong winds have impacted Delhi-NCR in recent days.

The latest spell of severe weather is expected to bring down temperatures and offer relief from the heat. The IMD has also forecast further wet weather activity across parts of northwest India in the coming days.
