Owaisi shared this development with the media, stating, “Our state president has sent a letter to MVA members, showing our willingness for talks. However, the final decision rests with the alliance partners.” He emphasized that, as a political party, AIMIM remains prepared to contest the elections, regardless of the outcome of these discussions.

Talking to the Marathi News Channel ABP Majha, Jaleel said, “We have given a proposal for 28 Muslim-dominated constituencies, and we can give a good fight on these seats. We have told them (Congress and NCP (SP)) that if too many candidates are in the fray, then the BJP will benefit from it”.
