Political activity is already gaining momentum for the 2027 Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, and the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) has made a significant early move. In a key review meeting held in Aligarh, the party outlined its strategy and signaled an aggressive expansion plan in the state.

The meeting, held at the party office in Shahjamal, focused on strengthening the organization and preparing for the upcoming electoral battle.

Plan to Contest Around 200 Seats

State president Shaukat Ali Khan announced that AIMIM is preparing to contest around 200 seats in the 2027 Assembly elections.

• Emphasis on building a competitive presence across regions

This move reflects AIMIM’s intent to expand its footprint significantly in Uttar Pradesh politics.

Strict Message on Discipline

During the meeting, the leadership sent a clear message to party office-bearers:

• Leaders failing to perform their duties may lose their positions
• Holding a post without active contribution will not be tolerated
• Grassroots engagement has been made mandatory

The emphasis on accountability highlights the party’s focus on organizational efficiency ahead of elections.

Strengthening Booth-Level Structure

A major part of the strategy revolves around improving the party’s ground network:

• Formation of booth-level committees
• Conducting regular local meetings
• Addressing regional and constituency-specific issues

The leadership stressed that areas with weak presence must be strengthened to build a robust electoral base.

Stand on Law and Order Issues

Shaukat Ali Khan reiterated his earlier stance on law-and-order matters, including remarks related to the Meerut encounter case.

• He maintained that alleged fake encounters should not be justified

A remark made during the meeting drew attention and sparked discussions:

• When asked about the absence of the state youth president, Shaukat Ali Khan responded humorously, “Have I grown old?”
• The comment was seen by some observers as a hint at internal dynamics within the party

AIMIM’s Strategy Under Asaduddin Owaisi

Under the leadership of Asaduddin Owaisi, AIMIM has been actively working to expand its presence beyond its traditional strongholds.
