Mayawati Reinstates Nephew Akash Anand as BSP Successor

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati has reinstated her nephew Akash Anand as the party's national coordinator and her official successor. This decision reverses her previous stance during the Lok Sabha elections, where she relieved him of his post. Mayawati now believes Anand has matured and is ready to lead.

In a significant political move, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati has reinstated her nephew, Akash Anand, as the party's national coordinator and her designated successor. This pivotal decision, announced on Sunday, reverses her earlier position during the Lok Sabha elections, where she had dismissed Anand, citing his immaturity.

Following a national meeting at the BSP state office, the party issued a statement confirming Anand's return to his former responsibilities. 'BSP's national president Mayawati has once again given Akash Anand a chance to work in the party with full maturity. He will continue to hold all his posts in the party as before,' the statement declared.

Mayawati expressed optimism regarding her nephew's future, emphasizing his potential to emerge as a mature leader. 'I am hopeful that Akash Anand will definitely emerge as a fully mature leader at every level in the interest of his party and movement,' she said, urging party members to respect and support him. This comes after the BSP's disappointing performance in the recent elections, contrasting with their 2019 success in alliance with the Samajwadi Party.
