Mayawati Appoints Nephew Ishan Anand as BSP National Coordinator, Removes Akash Anand
The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) appointed Ishan Anand, younger nephew of party president Mayawati, as national coordinator, replacing his elder brother Akash Anand, who was removed from all party responsibilities. Mayawati cited Akash's lack of maturity and influence from his father-in-law as reasons. Ishan, holding an LLM, pledged dedication to the party's legacy and upcoming election preparations. The changes reflect ongoing leadership adjustments within Mayawati's family as the BSP readies for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
