Senior Samajwadi Party (SP) leader and Rampur MLA Azam Khan has hinted at a renewed political alignment within the party ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, following a closed-door meeting with SP chief Akhilesh Yadav.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Azam Khan said, “We spoke our hearts out to one another. When two like-minded politicians meet, meaningful discussions naturally follow.” His remarks have sparked speculation about a possible reconciliation and revived partnership between the veteran leader and the SP president, especially after months of distance between the two.

Khan, one of the founding members of the Samajwadi Party and a key Muslim face in Uttar Pradesh politics, dismissed criticism from rival parties, saying, “The opposition often resorts to remarks that serve their political interests; every party has its own ideology and beliefs.”

When asked about his political future, the Rampur leader responded with confidence, asserting, “All I can say is that, in 2027, a wave of change will take place, and I will be part of it.”
