Lucknow: Buoyed by his party's showing in the Bihar Assembly polls, AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday announced his party's intention to fight the next state elections in Uttar Pradesh as part of a front led by Om Prakash Rajbhar, a former BJP ally. “We are now part of Rajbhar's morcha,” he said after meeting the Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party chief here.

In the recent Bihar elections, Owaisi’s Ail India Majlis-e-Ittehad–ul-Muslimeen won five seats out of the 20 it contested in the Seemanchal region bordering West Bengal.
