Lok Sabha elections 2024: The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) today (April 5) joined hands with Mukesh Sahani's Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) in Bihar ahead of Lok Sabha polls. RJD allotted three seats to VIP in Bihar. Former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav said, "We welcome Mukesh Sahani in the grand alliance."
Tejashwi Yadav added, "Those raising slogans of '400 paar' the land of Bihar will teach them a lesson. I have said this earlier as well that Bihar will give a shocking result."
"RJD will be contesting from 26 seats and our party has decided that from our quota we will be giving three seats to Mukesh Sahani's party. The three seats- Gopalganj, Jhanjharpur and Motihari (East Champaran)."
"In an internal meeting of the BJP in Gaya, a leader said in front of Minister Prem Kumar that we need a strong majority and we will change the constitution. No one has the strength to change the Indian constitution. The leaders in South India and Rajasthan also said the same thing. Today, I am very happy that Mukesh Sahani has joined the 'mahagathbandhan' and we welcome him," Tejashwi said on Friday.
Mukesh Sahani on seat sharing in Bihar
While addressing a press conference in Patna, Vikassheel Insaan Party's Mukesh Sahani said, "We are people who believe in the ideology of Lalu Prasad Yadav. BJP tried to poach our leaders and tried to finish our party."
"We will strongly fight in 2024 Lok Sabha elections, and will win 40 out of 40 seats in Bihar. BJP earlier promised to provide employment opportunities to around 2 crore youths but not even 2 lakhs people were given employment," he added.
There can be differences between the two brothers, it was neither good for me nor for Tejashwi Yadav, both of us have suffered losses. But, today is the time to take revenge from those who stuck the dagger in our chest and broke our MLAs.
