मेरे सोलह महीने के मंत्री कार्यकाल में मैंने राज्य के तेरह करोड़ जनता की सेवा करने का कोशिश किया, सभी जाती धर्म के लोगों के लिए काम किया। बिहार के भविष्य के लिए पशुपालन एवं मत्स्य क्षेत्र में कुछ निर्णायक कार्य को गति प्रदान किया। बिहार की समस्त जनता (1/2) pic.twitter.com/soK2qstk1m

“Thanks to all the people of Bihar, NDA allies, and Honourable Chief Minister Shri Nitish Kumar ji for giving me this opportunity. I am dedicated to the fight for SC/ST reservation to Nishad society, increasing the reservation of the backward community by 15% and respect and overall development of Bihar and Biharis,” he wrote in another tweet. 

VIP MLA Switched Parties 

Sahni had recently faced a setback when three of his MLAs joined BJP and another switched to RJD. 

Raju Singh, Mishri Lal, and Savarna Singh — the only elected three MLAs that VIP had in Bihar Assembly along with MLC Sahni himself had joined the BJP on March 23. 

Earlier, another party member Amar Paswan, who was a proposed candidate from the party for Bochahan seat bypoll, had switched to Rashtriya Janata Dal hours before Vikassheel Insaaf Party was to announce his candidature.
