Former minister and VIP chief Mukesh Sahani, in a terse post on X, said, "Vikassheel Insaan Party will contest the election on 60 seats in 2025. On the remaining seats, our coalition partners will contest."

In addition, Sahani is eyeing the deputy chief minister's post, insisting that the 'son of a Mallah' in that post would be a matter of pride. However, VIP has no members in the Bihar assembly as its four MLAs switched over to the BJP.
