Though Owaisi did approach SiddiquI, there is no evidence that he said that the minority would be benefitted if his party is elected to power.
In the same month, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Chief Asaduddin Owaisi visited Sharif, hinting at a possible alliance between the two Muslim leaders. However, the plan didn't work out after Siddiqui's Indian Secular Front shook hands with Owasi's rival Congress party and the CPM.
On April 7, 2021, AIMIM announced seven candidates for the ongoing West Bengal assembly elections, the Print reported. The party decided to contest the election solo after its potential alliance with the ISF failed. According to the report, hours after Owisi announced its candidates, ISF president Naushad Siddiqui said his party has "no political relationship" with the AIMIM.
Though Owaisi did approach Siddiqui to form an alliance and avoid the division of the Muslim vote-bank, he stepped back after Siddiqui allied with Congress and CPM. Also, there is no evidence stating that Owaisi made a statement claiming that the Dalits, Adivasis, and Muslims would be benefitted if ISF wins in West Bengal. Therefore, the claim is False.
The voting for the West Bengal assembly elections began on March 27, 2021, and the counting of votes for the same would take place on May 2, 2021.
