BJP leaders, including its Bihar chief Sanjay Jaiswal, were hinting that Sahani - with whom the party was at odds since his decision to contest the recent UP Assembly elections and attack Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath - was going to be axed after it lured away all the three VIP MLAs and inducted them into the party.

JD-U leader and Building Construction Minister Ashok Chaudhary said: "During 2020 Assembly election, the seat distribution was done between the JD-U and the BJP. The JD-U had adjusted Jitan Ram Manjhi's Hindustani Awam Morcha and BJP accommodated Mukesh Sahani-led VIP. Mukesh Sahani became cabinet minister under BJP quota. Hence, the BJP can take the initiative to remove him from the post of cabinet minister."

Vijay Kumar Chaudhary, Parliamentary Affairs Minister of Bihar, appeared soon after the spat between Kumar and speaker Vijay Kumar Sinha, saying that the Chief Minister has given explanation based on laws in the Constitution. "Nitish Kumar has given explanations based on laws in the Constitution. He rightly pointed out that the investigation report will be submitted in the court," Chaudhary said.
