All India Majli-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) will launch its Rajasthan unit within the next two months, party chief Asaduddin Owaisi announced on Monday.

Owaisi further announced that AIMIM will contest the Rajasthan assembly elections to be held in 2023.

Owaisi, however, did not disclose the number of assembly seats the party will contest on.

“We will talk with responsible people about Rajasthan, will consult them and thereafter, the work will start. It is obvious that if we start the party, then it will be to fight the election,” Asaduddin Owaisi said.

The state unit of the party will focus on Muslims and Dalits in Rajasthan, Owaisi said, adding there is a need to create an independent leadership of Muslims to “strengthen” the nation.

“We will be focusing on Dalits and Muslims in Rajasthan”, he added.

“It will be our endeavour to provide a voice and political platform to the Muslim minority,” he said.

Owaisi, who is currently on his second visit to Jaipur, refused to disclose any plans of a possible alliance with regional parties, saying he is currently focused on establishing the party organisation in the state.

“It is too early to comment on possible alliances. We will deal with the issue at a later stage. First, we are working towards establishing the state unit of the party,” the AIMIM chief said.

Assembly elections in Rajasthan, which has a total of 200 Assembly constituencies, are slated to be held in 2023.
