The election bugle is awaited in Bihar. Political parties are preparing to enter the field with full force. While regional parties are opening their cards, some new faces and parties are emerging with new political equations. Recently, the new party VVIP (Vikas underprivileged human party) has entered the political field in Bihar.
It is believed that this party has been formed with the intention of competing with Mukesh Sahni’s ‘VIP’ (Developing Human Party). Sahni Nishad is considered an influential leader of the society and the interesting thing is that VVIP founder Pradeep Nishad used to be in his party once. Now he has laid the foundation of ‘VVIP’ in response to ‘VIP’, holding a different path.
Let’s know who is Pradeep Nishad? And why they formed a VVIP party …
In Bihar, Pradeep Nishad is known as Helicopter Baba. Nishad announced his party in Patna on 28 June. He said, the purpose of our party is to provide social, economic, educational and political rights to Dalits, exploited, Mahadalit, backward and minorities. VVIP will keep all sections of Nishad society tied in one thread and will fight for their rights. Youth and women will be given a special place under the party leadership.
Pradeep Nishad is a resident of UP
Pradeep Nishad, who comes from Mallah society, hails from Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh and has been very close to Mukesh Sahni. However, the distance increased between the two in the year 2021 just before the UP elections. Pradeep says that he stayed in VIP from 2017 to 2021. Sahni had assured that prepare in UP, he will contest elections with power there. But then he did not pay attention.
‘If you do not get respect …’
Pradeep says that I was a personal assistant of Mukesh and took over the responsibility of the party. But if I did not get respect, he left the party. Mukesh wants to become a forest man. They do not listen to anyone in the party. Do not know how to respect the workers. When it did not feel good, it was separated and social justice joined the Navalok Party. He was the state president of UP. Since, there was an attachment to Bihar, so thought that when politics is to be done, why not form your party.
‘The first is the election, we will get down from the power …’
Regarding Bihar elections, Pradeep says that candidates will field more and more seats. My party is the first election in Bihar. We have to show strength. Therefore, there is no question of being a part of an alliance. I have turned around in Bihar. There is a ground hold. The one who did not get the ticket will come to me. He soon claimed two former ministers and two former MLAs to join the VVIP.
‘Three people take decisions in VIP …’
In Bihar, 11 percent of Mallah is the society’s voters and has an impact on 101 seats. Pradeep said, Nishad society has been cheated in Bihar. Mukesh was a minister in the Bihar government, but did not give a job to anyone. Bhai Santosh is the national president in his party. Wife is treasurer. The manager living in Mumbai is the general secretary and these three together take decisions related to VIP. People of Nishad society were not given a place in big positions.
Let us tell you that Mukesh Sahni’s party is part of the VIP Grand Alliance and is beating in the assembly elections. Mukesh Sahni is also known as Son of Mallah in Bihar. He was active with Tejashwi Yadav in the campaign of general election and has been voicing the issue of giving reservation to Mallah caste. VIP was part of the NDA in the 2020 assembly elections and contested 13 seats. Mukesh Sahni’s party won 4 seats and secured a total of 6,39,840 votes. VIP won elections in Alinagar, Bocha, Gaura Bauram, Sahebganj.
