PATNA: Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) chief and animal husbandry-cum-fishery resources department minister Mukesh Sahani on Tuesday said his party would field its candidates on all the 24 legislative council seats from the panchayati raj and urban local body quota, if the NDA constituents didn’t reach an amicable agreement on seat sharing.
“In Bihar, we are in the NDA. If they give legislative council seats to the VIP to contest, it is all right. Otherwise, we will contest all the 24 seats,” Sahani told mediapersons here. He added VIP functionaries and potential candidates have been asked to make preparations for the polls.
Sahani also allotted the party’s ticket to some candidates contesting the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. He said the alliance could not be formed with the BJP in UP because it did not express commitment on the reservation for the people of the Nishad caste. I had also held discussions with former CM and Samajawadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav as mark of good political relation.
