Suspended Trinamool Congress MLA Humayun Kabir has declared himself "Bengal's Owaisi" with plans to launch a new political party targeting the Muslim vote bank. Claiming a close alliance with AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, Kabir intends to field candidates in 135 constituencies, potentially reshaping Bengal's political landscape and impacting Trinamool's electoral fortunes in a state where Muslims constitute 27 percent of voters.
