Mayawati Assigns BSP Role to Nephew Ishan Anand, Excludes Akash Anand and Sister

Mayawati Assigns BSP Role to Nephew Ishan Anand, Excludes Akash Anand and SisterPreviousNext

BSP chief Mayawati has decided to assign a respectable role within the party to her younger nephew Ishan Anand, while excluding her elder nephew Akash Anand and his sister Deepika from organisational responsibilities. Citing past experiences and party interests, she criticized Akash's conduct post-marriage and invoked BSP founder Kanshi Ram's principle of keeping family separate from political benefits. Mayawati warned that any serious anti-party act by Ishan could lead to his removal, emphasizing dedication over familial ties in party roles.
