Mukesh Sahni Eyes NDA Switch Before Bihar Elections
Mukesh Sahni, a politician in Bihar, might switch sides from one group of parties (Mahagathbandhan) to another (NDA).
He's negotiating with the BJP, hoping for a job and a seat in the government.
The Mahagathbandhan, which includes the RJD, isn't sure they can give Sahni what he wants.
He wants a lot of seats and a high position if they win.
He previously switched sides in 2020 and 2022 due to disagreements.
The main issue is how many seats his party will get in the upcoming election and how his community will be represented.
Mukesh Sahni, leader of the Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP), may leave the Mahagathbandhan and join the BJP-led NDA.
Sahni is reportedly in talks with the BJP, potentially seeking a ministerial position and Rajya Sabha seat.
The RJD and other Mahagathbandhan parties may not concede Sahni's demands for seat allocation and the deputy chief minister post.
Sahni's VIP previously joined the NDA in 2020 before exiting in 2022 following disputes.
Key issues include seat allocation for the upcoming Bihar assembly elections and representation for the Mallah/Nishad community.
