News India Live, Digital Desk: Bihar Elections: As the Bihar assembly elections are getting closer, the stutches of political parties and ‘vision’ of leaders have started coming out. In the midst of all this, the head of the developing human party (VIP) Mukesh Sahni is once again in the headlines. Sahni is also known as ‘Son of Mallah’ and he holds his good hold in the Nishad community (Mallah) of Bihar. This time, what will be the effect of their ‘boat’ mark in the election and what is discussed about their vision, let us know.
Mukesh Sahni’s political ‘vision’ and demand:
Mukesh Sahni is constantly raising the demand for reservation for Nishad community in his election campaigns. This is the main agenda of his party VIP. In addition, his election vision focuses on these main things:
- Nishad Reservation: The biggest demand of Sahni is that the Nishad community should be given the status of Scheduled Tribes (ST), so that they can get the benefit of reservation in government jobs and education.
- Uplift of poor and underprivileged: They talk about raising the standard of living of their community as well as all the poor and deprived sections.
- Employment generation: Creating employment opportunities for the youth is also included in their election promises.
- Education and health facilities: The promise to provide better education and health facilities in Bihar is also an important part of their manifesto.
Whose game will spoil?
Mukesh Sahni may not have big parties in Bihar, but his hold is on a special vote bank, especially on the Nishad community. This vote bank can prove to be decisive in many seats. He has been a part of the NDA and then the Grand Alliance (India), and this time his role is considered decisive.
- If Sahni’s party contests alone or comes in an alliance, it can distribute votes in many seats, which can spoil the mathematics of big parties (BJP, JDU, RJD).
- If he becomes a part of a strong coalition, the unilateral vote of the Nishad community can make him a ‘game changer’ for that alliance.
Overall, Mukesh Sahni and his ‘boat’ can prove to be an important factor in Bihar elections this time. Their demands and their vision can affect the political direction of Bihar in the coming days.
