Political activity within the Grand Alliance has intensified in anticipation of the Bihar Assembly elections in 2025. Amidst this, VIP (Vikassheel Insaan Party) supremo Mukesh Sahni has made a significant statement regarding the Grand Alliance's Chief Ministerial face.
Bihar Election 2025: The news of Rahul Gandhi's silence a few days ago in Araria when questioned about making Tejashwi Yadav the CM face was a topic of discussion. Now, on Tuesday, Mukesh Sahni explicitly stated that Rahul Gandhi will not decide who the Chief Ministerial face will be. He affirmed that the elections will be contested under the leadership of Tejashwi Yadav.
Sahni's statement has energized the RJD (Rashtriya Janata Dal). The party, without naming anyone, has sent a clear message to Rahul Gandhi that Tejashwi Yadav is the CM face of the Grand Alliance, and no one should be under any illusion about this.
Tejashwi Given Major Responsibility in Grand Alliance
Tejashwi Yadav has been appointed as the chairman of the Grand Alliance's Coordination Committee. In this role, he is authorized to make decisions related to the elections. However, the Grand Alliance has not yet officially declared Tejashwi as the CM candidate. The Bihar Assembly elections are scheduled for October-November 2025. All parties are closely watching the Grand Alliance's strategy for this election. There is hope for the formation of a Grand Alliance government under Tejashwi's leadership.
During his visit to Araria two days ago, when Rahul Gandhi was questioned about making Tejashwi Yadav the CM face, he did not give a clear answer. This statement sparked political speculation. Mukesh Sahni, clarifying this political situation, stated that all parties in the alliance will make the decision together. Sahni said, "We will contest the elections under the leadership of Tejashwi." His statement is being seen as a response to Rahul Gandhi.
RJD Enthusiastic About Mukesh Sahni's Statement
The RJD is enthusiastic about Mukesh Sahni's statement. Party spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari stated that Tejashwi Yadav is the CM face of the Grand Alliance, and no one should be confused about this. Tiwari further added that if any confusion persists, there will be a reaction from the public. This time, the possibility of the Grand Alliance forming a government under Tejashwi's leadership has increased.
Meanwhile, the Bihar BJP has mocked Sahni's statement. Party media in-charge Danish Iqbal said that Mukesh Sahni was prompted to make this statement by Tejashwi Yadav to keep Rahul Gandhi in check. According to the BJP, the ongoing differences within the Grand Alliance regarding the CM face help in understanding the opposition's strategy. He stated that the differences between Tejashwi and Rahul Gandhi on this issue are clearly visible.
The Grand Alliance is planning to contest this election with all major parties united and b candidates. Coordination Committee Chairman Tejashwi Yadav says that it is necessary to deliver the right message between the party and the public to win the election.
