Apna Dal (K) Ties Up With AIMIM In UP For Lok Sabha Polls, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India - 31 Mar 2024
AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi with Apna Dal (K) leader Pallavi Patel during the joint press conference on the alliance of P.D.M (Pichda Dalit Muslim), on March 31, 2024 in Lucknow, India. Apna Dal (Kamerawadi) on Sunday formally broke away from the opposition INDIA bloc and tied up with Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM to launch a joint front ahead of Lok Sabha polls. The two opposition parties floated the PDM Nyay Morcha, calling it a front to bring justice to Pichda (backwards), Dalits and Muslims. This is similar to PDA - an acronym for Pichda, Dalit and Alpasankhyak (minorities) - coined by the former Apna Dal (K) ally Samajwadi Party.
