Mayawati Drops Nephew, Political Heir Akash Anand, From Party Post

New Delhi:

Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati’s nephew Akash Anand is no longer her political heir or the party’s National Coordinator. The 29-year-old got sacked this evening, days after his comment comparing the BJP with Taliban.

“In the same sequence, along with promoting other people in the party, I declared Shri Akash Anand as the National Coordinator and successor, but in the larger interest of the party and the movement, he is being separated from both these important responsibilities until he attains full maturity,” the BSP chief posted on X, formerly Twitter, this evening.
