Mayawati removes nephew from key BSP post, believes he 'requires further maturity'
Mayawati said Akash Anand can work in the party but will not get major responsibilities as the BSP prepares to contest all elections alone.
On Thursday, Bahujan Samaj Party national president Mayawati announced her party will contest all upcoming elections independently, rejecting alliances to focus on the party's core mission.
Mayawati emphasized that attaining political power is necessary to achieve the BSP's mission of uplifting exploited sections, which remains her top priority for the party's future.
Addressing internal leadership, Mayawati stated her nephew Akash Anand is permitted to work within the party but will not receive major responsibilities until gaining more maturity.
Separately, former All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen leader Asim Waqar joined the Congress in Lucknow, aiming to consolidate support against the Bharatiya Janata Party ahead of elections.
Preparations intensify for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, where the 403-member house is currently dominated by 258 Bharatiya Janata Party members and the Samajwadi Party.
