People have voted for sake of Rs 10,000: VIP chief Mukesh Sahni on Bihar poll verdict

VIP chief Mukesh Sahni claims NDA won Bihar elections by misleading women voters with Rs 10,000 promises, amid historic 67% voter turnout and NDA's 197-seat lead.

"People have voted for the sake of Rs 10,000 and Rs 1 lakh 90 thousand, ignoring thousands of other problems like unemployment. - Mukesh Sahni"

Patna, November 14

As the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) heads towards a landslide victory in the Bihar Election 2025, Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) chief and Mahagathbandhan's Deputy Chief Minister face Mukesh Sahni, said that they have won by misleading the women voters and illegally wooing them.

Speaking to ANI, Mukesh Sahni said, "For now, we accept this mandate. We congratulate the NDA. We never imagined that they would win in such a way. They have won by misleading the women voters. We will further examine the reasons behind this soon. At first glance, it appears that women of all castes and religions trusted Nitish Kumar because it was his last election and because the message reached the people that they would get another Rs 1 lakh 90 thousand."

He further pointed out that money has always been dominant, and illegal activities are being carried out legally in broad daylight.

"In the past, poor people used to sell their votes. In the dark of night, wealthy and powerful people used to distribute money and steal the mandate. We have made people aware. They don't sell their votes at night anymore. But now that old pattern has changed. Illegal activities are being carried out legally in broad daylight. People have voted for the sake of Rs 10,000 and Rs 1 lakh 90 thousand, ignoring thousands of other problems like unemployment. But I salute the decision that the public and the women have taken. I have no comment on it," he further added.

As per the Election Commission, at 6.45 pm, the BJP has won 52 seats and is leading on 38. The JDU has won 33 seats while leading on 51, LJP (RV) 2, and HAM 1. The RJD has also won 8 seats and is leading on 17. The Congress has won 1, while AIMIM has won 4, with final tally underway.

According to data from the Election Commission of India, the NDA has surpassed the majority mark and is now leading in 197 of the 243 seats in the Bihar Assembly.

The NDA's performance in Bihar can be attributed to the strong show by major parties like BJP and JD(U) with comprehensive support from Chirag Paswan's LJP(RV) and Upendra Kushwaha's Rashtriya Lok Morcha.

It's worth noting that Bihar recorded a historic 67.13% voter turnout, the highest since 1951, with women voters outnumbering men (71.6% vs 62.8%).

I agree with Sahni ji to some extent. The promise of ₹1.9 lakh definitely influenced voters. In rural Bihar, this is a huge amount that can change lives. But calling it "illegal" is too harsh - parties have always made promises during elections.

Women voters outnumbering men shows that women are becoming more politically aware. We voted for development and stability, not just for money. Stop undermining women's intelligence! 🙏

As an observer from outside India, this sounds like sour grapes from the losing side. When you lose elections, you should accept the mandate gracefully rather than making excuses about voters being bought.

Historic 67% voter turnout shows people's faith in democracy. If people voted for NDA, it's because they trusted their governance. Simple as that. No need for conspiracy theories about money influencing votes.

While I respect Sahni ji, this comment doesn't sit right with me. The people of Bihar have spoken through the ballot. We should respect their decision instead of questioning their motives. Democracy has won today! 🇮🇳
