The assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, the largest state in the country, are due early next year. The Election Commission has already started preparations for this. All the parties are also preparing for the elections. At such a time, BSP chief Mayawati has taken a sensational decision. She has removed her nephew Akash Anand from the post of party national coordinator. Mayawati said that Akash Anand needs more political maturity and experience. That is why she is not giving him key responsibilities at present. However, she made it clear that Akash Anand will continue in the BSP. She said that for now, he will not be given any key organizational responsibilities.
Another setback for Akash Anand
Akash Anand has been given a post in the party and then resigned from key responsibilities several times in recent times. The latest removal from the post of national coordinator has become another key turning point in his political career. Mayawati has removed Akash Anand from key party posts in the past as well. Later, he was brought back into the BSP organizational structure. With the latest decision, the discussion on Akash Anand’s role in the BSP has started again before the 2027 UP Assembly elections.
‘More political maturity is needed’
Mayawati said that Akash Anand still needs more political maturity and experience. She believed that he needs to gain more political experience before being entrusted with big responsibilities. However, she made it clear that he will not stay away from the party’s activities. He said that he will continue to work for the party in the BSP.
