evidence: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has announced that his party will contest 100 seats in the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. He said his party would contest the polls with 'Bhagidari Sankalp Morcha', an alliance of smaller parties floated by SBSP chief Om Prakash Rajbhar. [...] In a series of tweets, the AIMIM chief said, "We've decided to contest 100 seats in the upcoming UP election. Party has begun the selection process of candidates." [...] In last year's Bihar Assembly elections, the AIMIM contested 20 seats and won five -- all in the Muslim-dominated Seemanchal region which shares border with West Bengal.
