BJP MP Jagdambika Pal has dismissed the Samajik Parivartan Morcha formed by AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and Azad Samaj Party-Kanshiram president Chandrashekhar Azad as an "alliance of convenience" ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. Samajwadi Party leaders also criticised the alliance, alleging that it could benefit the BJP by splitting votes from the INDIA bloc.
