    At a public meeting in Kanpur on 20 September, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi announced that the party will field a candidate from the Kanpur Cantt constituency in the forthcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections and that it is looking to form a coalition with other parties by 2 October.[1]

    Coupling Politics with Personal Sentiments

    In a light‑hearted appeal, Owaisi urged attendees to look into their wives’ eyes and say “I love you” every morning, afternoon and before bed. He framed the sentiment as a metaphor for the love voters should show his party.[1]

    Criticism of Opponents

    Owaisi used the rally to question the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Samajwadi Party, particularly their stances on the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots and educational outcomes for Muslims in Uttar Pradesh. He also invoked the 1857 revolt in his remarks against Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.[1]

    Alliance Outlook

    The party chief said that business with other parties would be considered post‑10 October, with a formal announcement expected after that date. He signalled a willingness to collaborate with any party that would help keep the BJP out of state power.[1]

    Media Coverage of the “Love‑You” Speech

    Indian media outlets noted the campaign’s use of the “love you” phrase, describing it as a memorable element of the rally’s messaging.[2]
