Mayawati Bars Nephews from BSP Roles, Opens Door for Niece Deepika
Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati has ruled out any political role for her brother Anand Kumar's sons, Akash and Ishan Anand, reaffirming her opposition to dynastic politics. She indicated that Anand Kumar's daughter, Deepika Anand, studying law, could assume responsibilities if willing. This decision follows Akash Anand's recent removal from party duties amid internal disputes. Mayawati also addressed and dismissed rumors about her health, accusing Akash Anand of indirectly spreading them and acting under his father-in-law Ashok Siddharth's influence. The BSP aims to increase youth participation ahead of upcoming elections.
