Elections will be held in seven phases for 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar. Voting will take place in the first phase on April 19. RJD had got maximum 26 seats in the India alliance in Bihar, but after coming together with Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) chief Mukesh Sahni, his party was given three seats in Gopalganj, Jhanjharpur and Motihari. Congress has got 9 seats while Left has got 5 seats. Mukesh Sahni, who joined the opposition alliance INDIA after befriending RJD, had a special conversation with India TV, let’s know-
Question: Two boys from UP had failed in 2017, what wonders will the two boys from Bihar show?
answer: If someone has never been successful, it does not mean that you will not be successful again. Right now we are doing our work strongly. The public also wants change. We are playing our role. Going among the public. We are doing the work of the opposition.
Question: You were also in talks with BJP, how many seats were you getting?
answer: BJP was giving one or two seats. Was offered a seat. If we had discussed further, we would have got two seats, but the seat does not matter to me, for us it is a fight for Nishad reservation. We did not come to Bihar to do politics. We wanted to see change in our people. The fight for Nishad reservation is ours. We formed the party in 2018. We also became ministers. The government was formed with our cooperation. Then how did BJP buy our MLAs and throw us out?
Question: But RJD also did not promise Nishad reservation?
answer: RJD is not in the government. It is not the responsibility of RJD to ensure that Nishad gets reservation. I have my own responsibility, we will take reservation when we get strength. Just begging in front of someone.
Question: What will be the effect of your pairing with Tejashwi?
answer: This pair is so strong that there is no answer. As soon as this pair appeared in the frame, Kitne started feeling chilly. The Prime Minister of the country had to speak. Our fish hook has killed many people. You can understand how much of a hit my pair is.
Question: What had you planned regarding the fish eating video?
answer: Didn’t do anything, we were just eating food. We come from the fishermen community. We had bought good fish that day and while eating, a moment came when we thought let’s make a video. When the video was being made, we realized that the two pair you are talking about is a very amazing pair. Many people will feel chilly after seeing this. We knew that BJP would react. BJP’s strategy was to cancel the registration of our party. Our election symbol was allotted to someone else.
Question: But it was understood that you were talking about giving chilli to the people who believe in Sanatan through the video of them eating fish during Navratri?
answer: It’s a matter of taking one’s own angle. Shouldn’t we eat food and drinks? Why don’t we make a video? While posting, we kept in mind that no one gets hurt and also put the date as 8th. If you wanted to tease, you would not have put the date. There will be a post anytime, there are many posts which we share later.
Question: But you gave one issue to BJP?
answer: We will not follow BJP’s rules. We are not their workers. We did not give issue. He took the issue. We are doing whatever feels good to us. They are not doing what they are supposed to do. He is not playing on his pitch. Playing on our pitch. They should be told that two crore jobs were promised, what happened to it? Has the promise of pucca house been fulfilled? They should play on their own pitch.
Question: Why is the INDIA alliance becoming an anti-Sanatan image?
answer: We do not have to learn from those people. We ourselves are Sanatani. We ourselves were born in Hindu religion. Our parents, ancestors, grandparents have all reached here following Hindu religion. We do not need to take certificate from anyone. We will not learn from those whose mother dies but do not get tonsured. We use the name of Ram in every auspicious work, even in our last work. We also say Jai Hanuman. BJP people are engaged in destroying our Sanatan Dharma. Everyone has their place. There is a place to drink alcohol, there is a system there. There is a system for worshiping in the temple, but BJP has mixed everything. We are eating and drinking at our place, what is the need for them to speak on this. Does this suit the PM?
Question: Will you be able to transfer Nishad votes?
Question: We contested three by-elections. We have always brought 25 to 30 thousand votes. Today we have formed an alliance, so we have hope. Had we fought alone we would not have achieved success. Thinking this, people form alliances and give shares among themselves.
Question: Will you be the Deputy CM if your government is formed in the assembly elections?
answer: Certainly if the government is formed then there will be a Deputy CM. If Tejashwi Yadav will be the CM on number one position then definitely the son of Nishad community will become the Deputy CM on number two chair. This whole thing has been decided. It will be announced when the time comes.
Question: Why did you not go with BJP for this reason?
answer: Don’t want to support BJP. Don’t want to go with them. He betrayed us, betrayed us, broke the party and threw us out of the government. There was a strong discussion about Nishad reservation with all the partners in the Nishad INDIA alliance. He has assured that after forming the government we will implement reservation. We not only catch fish but also produce MLAs and MPs.
Question: Small parties are often accused of selling tickets. There is a similar discussion about your party too
answer: Small parties are always targeted. We get abused because we are small people. The media would not have the courage to ask the same thing to big people. It is certainly a matter of concern for those who are selling tickets, because it is not right. They blame small people only, but do not question big people. If we are poor then you can accuse us of stealing, but not every poor person steals.
Question: But Nishad Party is with NDA in UP? Then how will all the Nishads come with you?
answer: In UP, Nishad Party brokers BJP. Let’s compromise on one seat. Gets ticket from BJP for his son. That is a party, that is a shop. From time to time they blackmail the political party. We are fighting against the party. We are fighting against BJP by taking three seats. Whoever wins will be our MP, but their MP will be from BJP. You are running the party and if BJP becomes MLA and MP, then what is your party doing? We will fight in UP again in 2027, if needed we will also go there to campaign. We are going to make it, we will keep making it. The small party is here today, it will not be there tomorrow. The shopkeeper who sells stolen goods is also wrong. In today’s time, BJP is such that it buys others by giving money, people get sold, BJP is committing the crime.
Question: Has RJD decided the candidate of your party?
answer: Whatever people say, we are in INDIA block. Respect each other. Listen and understand each other’s thoughts. If we feel we need to recommend someone, we do so among ourselves.
Question: What will happen on 40 seats in Bihar?
answer: If you lose only one or two seats, you are defeated, everyone else will win. We are forming the government. They are giving the slogan of 400, but it is possible that they will get stuck in 150. Is giving 5 kg rice this development? Is he giving it from home? This is the property of the country. It is being given from the country’s treasury. What about the debt the country has incurred? The debt has become 4 times more than what it was in the first 14 years. Who will repay this loan?
