AIMIM Open to Alliance with Humayun Kabir in West Bengal
Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM party is talking about teaming up with Humayun Kabir, a former Trinamool Congress MLA who is starting his own party.
They want to work together in the upcoming West Bengal elections.
Humayun Kabir wants to attract Muslim voters away from Trinamool Congress.
AIMIM is strong in some areas like Malda and Murshidabad.
The leader of AIMIM in Bengal, Imran Solanki, says they will fight hard in the elections and that Mamata Banerjee, the current Chief Minister, has not done enough for the minority communities.
The final decision on the alliance will be made by Asaduddin Owaisi.
AIMIM is considering an alliance with Humayun Kabir's new party for West Bengal elections.
Humayun Kabir, a former Trinamool Congress MLA, aims to challenge Trinamool's Muslim vote bank.
