In a surprising move, BSP supremo Mayawati has sidelined her nephew Akash Anand from his positions within the party, including his political heir designation. This drastic decision comes after Akash's open criticism of the BJP, calling the current government a "bulldozer government" and accusing it of tyranny against the youth and elders of the country.
Mayawati's public declaration emphasized that Akash would be kept away from party responsibilities until he matures politically. The role will now be temporarily filled by his father, Anand Kumar. This shift is viewed by many as a repercussion of internal agreements purported between BJP and BSP leaders, where BSP seemed to strategically position Muslim candidates to favor BJP in recent elections.
Akash's political journey, which started just five years ago, took a dramatic turn as his comments led to a case being registered against him for violating election norms. Political analysts speculate that the move to expel Akash could be due to pressure from BJP, marking a sensational moment in UP politics.
