[15] On 1 January 2018, the name "Vanchit Bahujan Aaghadi" was first used in a convention held by Dhangar community people at Pandharpur, Maharashtra.

[18] On 28 September 2018, the first session of the VBA was held at Solapur and resulted in agreement from the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen to form a coalition.

The Coalition Vanchit Bahujan Aaghadi is going to contest for the upcoming Lok Sabha and Legislative Assembly elections 2018 in the state Maharashtra.

In the beginning, efforts were made to organise the masses through conventions and at district levels and conferences in the name of farmers, workers, youths, and reservations.

Rajaram Patil, the leader of Agri-Koli community, presided over this conference in the presence of Ambedkar and Owaisi and discussed OBC rights.

[23] In July 2019, Laxman Mane split from the VBA and formed new party, the Maharashtra Bahujan Vanchit Aaghadi.

[26] The candidates of VBA have been selected from different politically deprived communities such as Dhangar, Kunbi, Bhil, Buddhist, Koli, Vadar, Lohar, Varli, Banjara, Muslim, Mali, Kaikadi, Bhoi, Matang, Agri, Shimpi, Lingayat, Golla and Maratha.

Prakash Ambedkar, the party leader, has been an MP twice from the Akola Loksabha constituency before losing his seat in the 2019 elections.

[37][38] Despite Owaisi's attempt to negotiate, Prakash Ambedkar stood firm, effectively signaling the end of the alliance without explicitly stating it.

[49] 38 candidates of Vanchit Bahujan Aaghadi contested the 2024 Indian general election in Maharashtra, but all of them lost.

These announcements have been given to 'KG to PG free education', bring Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh within the framework of the Indian Constitution, the status of independent religion to the Lingayatism and various schemes for the farmers.
