Muslim Leadership

Former BSP leader Naseemuddin Siddiqui has joined the Samajwadi Party to strengthen its Muslim leadership ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, aiming to fill the vacuum left by jailed stalwart Azam Khan. Siddiqui, once a key figure in Mayawati's cabinet, holds significant influence among Muslims in the Bundelkhand and Awadh regions.
