After 'sanyas' of his father-in-law, no more need to separate Akash Anand from BSP: Mayawati

Mayawati announced the reappointment of Akash Anand as the BSP's national coordinator following Ashok Siddharth's retirement. She stated that media reports had exaggerated Anand's past separations from the party. Mayawati emphasised that Anand was never expelled and had played an active role prior to his marriage. The BSP chief expressed confidence that Anand's political future would remain stable after Siddharth's departure from active involvement.
