Mukesh Sahani’s Bold Statement on Alamnagar Seat
On Sunday, while addressing a gathering in Alamnagar, Mukesh Sahani emphasized the strength of the Nishad community in the region. He declared that since a large number of Nishad voters reside in Alamnagar, his party, VIP, should be given the opportunity to contest from this constituency.
Sahani criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for previously breaking his party by poaching four of his MLAs. However, he stated that when the Nishad community has 40 MLAs, such political manipulation would no longer be possible. According to him, if the community unites politically, they can not only safeguard their interests but also aspire to have their leader in a powerful position, including that of the Deputy Chief Minister.
Fight for Nishad Reservation to Continue
Mukesh Sahani reiterated that his primary goal is to secure reservation for the Nishad community. He urged the community to understand the power of their votes and use it wisely.
He cited Lalu Prasad Yadav as an example, stating that when his community stood by him, he worked tirelessly for their welfare. Sahani urged the Nishad voters to support their own leaders so they can work towards improving their community’s political and social standing.
Nishad Community’s Growing Political Influence
The VIP chief emphasized that his party has already demonstrated its political strength by electing four MLAs in the previous election. He highlighted that the Nishad community is no longer limited to its traditional occupation of fishing but has now emerged as a key player in state politics.
Sahani encouraged his supporters to choose the right candidates who can fight for their rights, representation, and dignity. According to him, if the Nishad community strategically uses its voting power, it can shape Bihar’s political future.
Political Uncertainty Over Seat-Sharing in Mahagathbandhan
The Grand Alliance (Mahagathbandhan) in Bihar is yet to finalize its seat-sharing formula. However, Sahani’s claim over the Alamnagar seat has created a new political buzz. His strong statement has added pressure on alliance leaders to recognize the Nishad community’s demand for greater political representation.
The big question remains: How many seats will VIP get in the Mahagathbandhan? With Mukesh Sahani’s aggressive stance, it is evident that he is trying to strengthen his position in Bihar politics before the upcoming elections.
What Lies Ahead for the VIP and Nishad Community?
As the Bihar elections draw closer, Mukesh Sahani’s VIP party is likely to push for more seats and political recognition. His focus on reservation, community empowerment, and securing influential positions signals an aggressive campaign strategy.
It remains to be seen whether Mahagathbandhan accommodates VIP’s demands and whether the Nishad community can emerge as a decisive factor in the upcoming polls.
With Bihar’s political landscape constantly evolving, Mukesh Sahani’s claims and his party’s role will be crucial in shaping the state’s future.
