Mayawati Reinstates Nephew Akash Anand as BSP National Convenor Ahead of Elections
Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati has reappointed her nephew Akash Anand as the party's national convenor, reversing his removal and expulsion earlier in September. The decision, made after considering party members' views and Anand's public apology, aims to strengthen the party ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. Mayawati linked Anand's return to the retirement of his father-in-law, Ashok Siddharth, from politics and emphasized the need for discipline and unity within the party.
