Mannan has joined the AIMIM after leaving the Peace party earlier this month.
On December 16, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi had met Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) chief Om Prakash Rajbhar in Lucknow to stitch an alliance for the 2022 Assembly polls.
A day later, Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party Lohia (PSPL) chief Shivpal Singh Yadav met Rajbhar, ostensibly to join the alliance.
