Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati has removed her nephew Akash Anand from all party positions, citing his lack of experience and political maturity. The decision, which came after a high-level meeting with senior BSP leaders, marks a significant shift in the party’s internal structure.
“BSP Will Not Follow Dynastic Politics”
Addressing the decision, Mayawati made it clear that BSP would not function like other parties that promote family members in leadership roles.
“The Bahujan Samaj Party does not believe in dynastic politics. Leadership in our party is earned through hard work, dedication, and commitment to our ideology,” she said in a strongly worded statement.
She acknowledged that Akash Anand was given responsibilities based on public sentiment and guidance from senior party leaders but noted that his approach was not yet suitable for such an important role.
“Akash is young and lacks the necessary political experience. Leadership requires deep understanding, patience, and discipline. He still has a long way to go,” Mayawati added.
The BSP supremo emphasized that the party’s focus remains on uplifting Dalits, backward communities, and marginalized sections of society. She assured workers that the party would continue its fight for social justice and economic empowerment.
“We are committed to strengthening the party at the grassroots level. Only those who are truly dedicated to the movement will be given leadership roles,” Mayawati said, signaling a shift toward merit-based leadership.
Strict Warning to Party Workers
Along with announcing Akash Anand’s removal, Mayawati issued a stern warning to BSP workers, urging them to maintain discipline and avoid actions that could harm the party’s reputation.
“Every worker must remain dedicated to the party’s principles. Anyone prioritizing personal ambition over BSP’s mission will face strict action,” she stated.
While Akash Anand’s future role in the party remains uncertain, this decision underscores Mayawati’s determination to keep BSP focused on its original mission of empowering marginalized communities without familial influence.
