It also examines the role of smaller parties, including Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraj and the minimal impact of Mukesh Sahni's Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) on the Mallah community vote. According to Javed, 'So this audacious gamble that they were depending on VIP to cut into the Malla vote and bring in a substantial number, that doesn't seem to be paying off'.
