After Removing Nephew Akash Anand, Mayawati Appoints His Brother Ishan to Key BSP Post
Mayawati said Akash Anand will remain a party worker but not hold major responsibilities as the BSP tries to avoid further electoral losses.
- Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati removed nephew Akash Anand from his role as national coordinator following a Thursday meeting, stripping him of major organizational responsibilities.
- This marks the third instance in two years Mayawati has removed the 31-year-old from key posts, despite naming Akash her political successor in December 2023.
- Sources within the BSP suggest Mayawati was unhappy with reports claiming Akash would influence 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly candidate selection, allegedly planted by his father-in-law Ashok Siddharth.
- While Akash was absent from Thursday's meeting, younger brother Ishan Anand occupied the chair typically reserved for him, though the BSP has not confirmed any formal replacement.
- Mayawati stated Akash remains a party worker but still 'needs to become more mature,' invoking BSP founder Kanshi Ram's preference against giving relatives formal party positions.
