The seat-sharing issue within Bihar's Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) has escalated sharply. Mukesh Sahani, the leader of the Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP), is insisting on contesting in 15 specific constituencies and is also demanding the post of Deputy Chief Minister.

This has heightened tensions within the coalition.Initially, Sahani had demanded 60 seats, but during subsequent negotiations, he reduced his ask to 15.
