AIMIM has denied reports of alliance with the Samajwadi Party for the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.
AIMIM's UP president Shaukat Ali said, 'We never said that if SP comes to power and Akhilesh Yadav makes a Muslim leader as Deputy CM, then we will have an alliance with him."
"We categorically deny these reports as neither I nor AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has ever made such a statement", he further added.
"We had said that the SP got 20 % Muslim votes in the last elections and came to power, but they did not make any Muslim deputy CM," he said.
Owaisi had reportedly said on Saturday that he was ready to ally with the party if SP chief Akhilesh Yadav agreed to make a Muslim MLA the deputy CM in UP.
