Akash Anand is No More Mayawati’s Successor and BSP’s National Coordinator

New Delhi: In a move that surprised many, the BSP chief Mayawati removed her nephew Akash Anand as the national coordinator and her successor of the party.

Stating this, Mayawati wrote on social media, “It is known that BSP is not only a party but also a movement for self-respect and social change of Baba Saheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar. Shri Kanshiram ji and I have dedicated our entire lives and the new generation is also being prepared to give impetus to this.”

She added, “In the same sequence, along with promoting other people in the party, I had declared Akash Anand as the National Coordinator and my successor. But now I have decided that till the time he attains full maturity in the larger interest of the party and the movement, he will be shelved from these two important responsibilities.”

Akash fell from the eyes of Mayawati after he made derogatory statements against the BJP leaders and the UP Government during his election rally in Sitapur last week. An FIR was also registered against Akash and other BSP leaders over this speech.

After this incident, Mayawati cancelled all the election rallies of Akash.
