VIP chief Mukesh Sahni is preparing to play a big bet in Bihar assembly elections 2025. He has indicated that this time the entire Sahni family will enter the electoral fray.
The political stir of Bihar assembly elections 2025 is fast and this time Vikas Human Party (VIP) chief Mukesh Sahni is going to play a big bet. He has indicated that he himself will contest the assembly elections and can field his family as well. This strategy of Mukesh Sahni is likely to form a new equation in Bihar politics.
Important to familyism
Mukesh Sahni recently said in a YouTube interview that familism is necessary in politics. Giving the example of Union Minister and Hindustan Awam Morcha supremo Jitan Ram Manjhi, he explained how Manjhi is strengthening his party by fielding his family members in the electoral fray. Sahni said, “Last time we trusted others but they were sold. We have all experienced how reliable people of their family are.”
Claim on 60 seats
The VIP chief also indicated that his party would get enough seats in the Grand Alliance. They want the party to contest 60 seats, which will have family members candidates. He said that even after fielding candidates from the family, other competent candidates will be given tickets in the remaining seats. This strategy is to give VIP a strong political hold.
Which seat will you contest from?
As far as the question is, from which seat Mukesh Sahni himself will contest elections, no concrete announcement has been made about it yet. Ticket distribution, coalition strategy and other preparations are still discussed. But it is believed that Sahni is preparing the party for better performance in the election phase by joining the election field with her family.
Effect on political environment
This initiative of Mukesh Sahni remains a topic of discussion in the political corridors of Bihar. Their family members may have a new change in the already existing ethnic and regional equations when they enter the field. Especially the Kurmi-Kushwaha vote bank is likely to have a widespread impact.
In the previous elections, VIP has made a strong hold between the fishermen community and backward castes. Taking up his family in the election, Sahani wants to further strengthen his political strategy. Through this, they want to make their position in the Grand Alliance more effective.
