Promises to support parties ensuring social rights

Addressing the party workers in Chandi block under the 'Sarkar Banao, Adhikar Paao' Karyakarta Samvad programme, Sahni said, "If the Mahagatbandhan forms the government in Bihar, Tejashwi Yadav will be the Chief Minister, and I will be the Deputy Chief Minister."

Targeting Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Sahni launched a scathing attack, accusing it of conspiring to oust him from power.

"When I was doing good work in the government, the BJP conspired against me and removed me from power. They even attempted to buy our MLAS," Sahni said.

VIP chief further said that his equation with the Bihar BJP president Dilip Jaiswal does not make any impact towards his commitment to the Mahagathbandhan.

"While I may have personal relations with Dilip Jaiswal, our commitment to the Mahagathbandhan remains firm. BJP leaders once bowed before us for an alliance, yet we did not compromise with the NDA. Our priority is preserving our society, and we will support only those who ensure our rights," he said.

Sahni further alleged that the BJP is trying to divide the "Mahagatbandhan" by making misleading statements in the media.

"But let me clarify--no one can break the bond between Tejashwi Yadav and me," he added.

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has started preparations for the upcoming Bihar assembly elections, with over 200 booth-level agents participating in a national training programme at the India International Institute of Democracy and Election Management, Delhi.

According to sources, the ECI has stepped up efforts to conduct a smooth, free and fair election that will happen later this year.

A high-stakes battle is expected to take place in Bihar, with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), consisting of Janata Dal (United) led by Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, and the Bharatiya Janata Party, fighting against the Mahagathbandhan, consisting of Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and left parties.

The Bihar Assembly elections are due to be held later this year.

Interesting power dynamics here! Sahni seems very confident about his position. But I wonder if this public declaration might create tension within Mahagathbandhan? 🤔

Finally some clarity about leadership roles! This kind of transparency is good for voters. Let's see if they can deliver on their promises if elected.

While I respect Sahni's ambition, making such claims before elections seems premature. Shouldn't the focus be on what they'll do for Bihar rather than who gets which post?

The BJP allegations are serious. If true, this shows how dirty politics has become. Hope EC ensures fair elections! 🙏

Personal equations shouldn't matter in politics. What matters is development work. Last time VIP was in power, did they actually deliver anything substantial?

The bond between Tejashwi and Sahni seems strong đź’Ş Hope they focus on youth employment and education if they come to power. Bihar needs fresh ideas!
