Earlier, Afzal Ali Khan had already received the RJD’s lantern symbol before the seat-sharing deal. Despite Lalu and Tejashwi Yadav’s efforts, Afzal refused to withdraw. Mukesh Sahni, showing political maturity, asked his brother to step down and supported Afzal to keep the NDA from gaining an advantage.

Tejashwi campaigned for Santosh, urging voters not to worry about Afzal’s rebellion. Later, Mukesh announced that this election was not about one MLA but about forming a Grand Alliance government. He appealed to VIP workers to support Afzal’s win, calling it a “big-hearted” move for unity.

This strategic decision by Mukesh Sahni replaces brother Santosh highlights party coordination over personal ambitions, keeping the Grand Alliance’s focus intact in Darbhanga’s complex political scene.
