Mayawati ‘frees’ her nephew Akash Anand from BSP after his father-in-law quits politics
Mayawati has removed her nephew Akash Anand from the Bahujan Samaj Party after his father‑in‑law, former Rajya Sabha member Ashok Siddharth, stepped back from politics. The move follows a directive from BSP chief Mayawati to Siddharth to take ‘sanyas’ so Anand could assume a significant party role. The decision came a day after Siddharth’s resignation.
