All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) and Bharipa Bahujan Mahasangh (BBM) will have an alliance with the Lok Sabha and Maharashtra Assembly polls in 2019.
According to Waris Pathan, AIMIM MLA from Mumbai, party chief Asaduddin Owaisi had several rounds talks with BBM chief Prakash Ambedkar and both of them have decided to come on one platform for the forthcoming polls.
He said that in this regard, a public rally will be held in Aurangabad on October 2 and the formal structure of the alliance will be announced later.
He also said that the idea behind the alliance was that Dalits, Muslims and OBCs have been ignored for 70 years, have no proper representation in politics and were being treated as vote-banks. ”It is a shame on all so-called secular parties that there is no representation from the Muslim community in Parliament from Maharashtra.
Everybody wants their votes, but does not want to give them representation. Similar is the case for Dalits,” he added.
