Even CM post is not far if Nishads vote unitedly: Sahani
Patna: Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) president Mukesh Sahani on Thursday claimed that not only the deputy CM post but even the CM's chair is not impossible for him if the 10% Nishads in Bihar vote unitedly. He was addressing the party workers in Bhojpur. Mukesh said the VIP won four seats in the last assembly elections and they made him a minister. "BJP hatched a conspiracy as they thought Mukesh Sahani can win 40 seats tomorrow and 125 next and he will become CM. So, they bought my party's four MLAs," he alleged. "We have the target to win 40 seats in the coming election," Mukesh said and asked the party workers to start preparations in Barhara and Ara Sadar assembly constituencies in Bhojpur to contest in the coming elections. Earlier, at a press conference on Wednesday, Sahani said the Grand Alliance will contest the coming assembly election under the leadership of RJD's Tejashwi Prsad Yadav and himself. He went to the extent of saying that the RJD-VIP needed Congress backing in Bihar as the grand old party will need their support in the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. His comments drew sharp reactions from not only the NDA netas but of Congress as well. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like local network access control Esseps Learn More Undo Congress state media cell chairman Rajesh Rathorre evaded a direct reply but said only the decisions taken by the INDI Alliance coordination committee in Bihar are acceptable. While JD(U) spokesman Abhishek Jha said Congress and the Left parties should decide now as Sahani was claiming No. 2 spot in the alliance, BJP state spokesperson Prabhakar Kumar Mishra said, "This is like he is distributing invitation cards for 'Chhathiyaari' (a child's birth celebration) when there is no date fixed even for marriage yet. The person who had a fish party with Tejashwi in a helicopter during Navaratra is calling himself a contender for the post of deputy CM. " He said there was a long queue of people in the Grand Alliance for the CM candidate. "Now another queue is also being formed for the candidature for the post of deputy CM," he said.

India should not tolerate US mediation: Sahani
New Delhi: Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) founder and former Bihar Minister Mukesh Sahani said that India should not tolerate US mediation in the tensions between India and Pakistan post-Pahalgam terror attack. Sahani condemned US President Donald Trump's recent remarks related to the growing tensions between India and Pakistan, calling it an unprecedented and insulting interference. 'Never before has such a statement come from a US President. This is an insult to India's sovereignty. The Prime Minister must speak on this. If India decides, Pakistan cannot stand for even two hours,' he said while speaking to the media persons in Khagaria. Sahani also criticised the BJP's claiming credit for Operation Sindoor. 'BJP has a habit of turning disasters into opportunities for votes. They are doing politics on every issue including national security.' BJP has started the Tiranga Yatra in the country to honour the bravery of Indian defence forces during Operation Sindoor. The Indian Air Force in particular destroyed the nine terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. The Armed forces's strike, which took place in the early hours of May 7, targeted terrorist strongholds in Bahawalpur, Muridke, Sarjal, Hed Marala, Barnala, Kotli, Bilal and Muzaffarabad in Pakistan and PoK. These terror camps are responsible for harbouring terrorists and are believed to be behind the recent Pahalgam attack.
