When Vijay Sinha visited Barhiya after becoming Deputy Chief Minister again, his supporters welcomed him with excitement. A video went viral showing two young men firing something that looked like a gun. People assumed it was a rifle, and criticism started spreading online.

Local residents explained that these youths used a traditional bird-shooting gun. They loaded it with firecrackers and burst them during the procession. This practice is common in the area. Families from this Muslim community use the gun during celebrations or to scare animals like boars and nilgai that damage crops.

The police seized both devices and questioned the youths, Jabir and Hamid. The Deputy CM also clarified that the device was harmless and used only for crackers. He called the rumor of celebratory firing completely false.

The NDA won the 2025 Bihar election with a strong majority. Therefore, the BJP chose Vijay Kumar Sinha again as Deputy Chief Minister. This decision also shows his growing influence in the party and in the Bhumihar community.

Sinha won his fifth election from Lakhisarai. He defeated Congress leader Amresh Kumar by 24,940 votes. After the result, he said that people trusted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. He added that the win gives hope to Bihar’s youth, women, and farmers.

Sinha was born in 1967 in Lakhisarai district. He studied locally and later completed a diploma in civil engineering. However, during his student days, he joined ABVP and the RSS. This changed his path and led him into politics.

He became an MLA in 2005. Since then, he has kept his seat. Later, he also served as Labor Resources Minister. In 2020, he became Speaker of the Assembly. However, he left the post after the political shift in 2022.
