AIMIM Reiterates Support, Focuses On Key Constituencies

Owaisi also noted that AIMIM, along with its Tamil Nadu unit led by lawyer Ahmed, had already announced support for the DMK-led alliance. He reiterated his appeal, particularly urging voters to support the alliance candidate in the Vaniyambadi constituency.

In a separate post on social media, Owaisi repeated his appeal in Hindi, asking voters across Tamil Nadu to ensure victory for DMK alliance candidates by casting their votes on April 23.

The appeal comes at a time when campaigning has intensified across the state ahead of polling. Political observers say AIMIM’s backing could be significant for the DMK alliance, particularly in constituencies like Vaniyambadi, where minority voters are expected to play a decisive role.
