Bihar MLC polls: NDA ally Vikassheel Insaan Party's chief Mukesh Sahani said his party will contest on all the 24 seats on its own.
National President of the Vikassheel Insaan Party, Mukesh Sahani, on Sunday, hit out at the NDA alliance parties, Janata Dal (United) (JDU) and BJP in Bihar, calling it "Hitlershahi" after they did not give his party even a single seat for contesting in the Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) election likely to be held in March-April this year.
On Saturday, the ruling alliance in Bihar, JD(U) and BJP agreed on a seat-sharing formula for the upcoming MLC polls in which the BJP will contest on 13 seats, one of which the party has given to the Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) led by Pashupati Kumar Paras while the JD(U) will field candidates on 11 seats.
Notably, no seats were given to the former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi-led Hindustani Awam Morcha-Secular (HAM-S) and Vikassheel Insaan Party.
Speaking to news agency ANI, Mr Sahani said, "The government in Bihar stands because of Manjhi-Sahani. JD(U)-BJP think they're powerful and have taken the right decision. This is like Hitlershahi."
