LOST

Mukesh Sahni's Vikasheel Insaan Party is contesting the election on 11 seats in alliance with the BJP and JD(U). Sahni is contesting from Simri Bakhtiyarpur in the Saharsa district. Sahni exited from opposition Grand Alliance in Bihar on October 3. A day later, Sahni had announced that the VIP would contest all 243 Assembly seats in the state. However, the party, which claims to have the backing of the fishermen community, has entered the NDA alliance. In the assembly polls of 2015, JD(U) had won the seat, however RJD won the seat in the 2019 bypolls. The VIP majorly represents the Nishad community, which comprises 22 sub-castes. Sahni, Punaut, Jethaut, Kaul, Tiyar, Chabh, Bind and Gangait are some of the sub-castes which are collectively a potent political force. In the ongoing elections, the VIP is contesting in Khagaria, Madhubani and Muzaffarpur seats where the party is quite hopeful of winning with the support of Yadav, Manjhi, Muslim and Nishad communities. Mukesh Sahni’s politics revolves around the demand of inclusion of the Nishad community among the Scheduled Tribes.
