Patna: As the Bihar elections 2025 intensify, social media has emerged as a key battleground, with political leaders exchanging sharp barbs online. Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) president Mukesh Sahni and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have recently clashed over a series of tweets.
Sahni responded strongly to a BJP post that accused him of being humiliated within the Grand Alliance, claiming he was denied a ticket and that his brother faced pressure to withdraw from the Gaurabauram constituency. The BJP described this as an insult to the Mallah community, widely regarded as an extremely backward group.
In a defiant reply, Sahni dismissed the BJP’s allegations as “imaginary plans” and insisted that he would not rest until RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav was made Bihar’s chief minister. “Hey, you heartbroken people! Now that the first round of voting has passed, you’re dreaming again,” Sahni wrote. “Remember, Mukesh Sahni is a man of his word. He won’t rest until Tejashwi Yadav is CM and the BJP is defeated.”
Sahni went further, extending a public invitation to a victory feast on November 14, promising a “fish and rice” banquet to mark the occasion, adding in his trademark style: “This time, even the plate will be VIP.” He also accused the BJP of losing momentum after the first round of voting and suggested that public sentiment now favours a change in leadership.
