News India Live, Digital Desk: Preparations for the 2025 assembly elections have already started in Bihar politics, and in this sequence, Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) chief Mukesh Sahni has emerged as an important character. These days his party seems to be becoming a headache for both the ruling party (NDA) and the opposition (Grand Alliance), because he has openly demanded seats from both the alliances. This has given rise to a new debate and ‘tussle’ in the political circles of Bihar.

Mukesh Sahni is constantly trying to strengthen his political ground. They have been raising their voice for the rights of their community or for the rights of their community that were ignored by the previous governments. In this connection, he has announced that if he does not get respectable seats, his party is ready to contest alone on all 243 assembly seats in 2025. This is a statement which is forcing every major political party to think. Sahni is especially trying to capitalize on his “Son of Mallah” identity and the support of the Nishad community.

Both the NDA and the Grand Alliance might be thinking of bringing Sahni to their side or making a seat pact with him, because caste equations play a big role in the election results in Bihar. This dual stance of Sahni also shows that he wants to bring his party to a strong position, where he can play the role of ‘kingmaker’. Amidst this political tussle, it will be interesting to see which side the camel of Mukesh Sahni’s Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) sits on in the Bihar elections 2025, and whether their demands will be accepted by one of the two big alliances, or will they really go alone. This strategy of his is going to bring heat in the politics of Bihar and more aspects of it will come to light in the coming time.
