In a big decision for the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), the party chief Mayawati declared her nephew, Akash Anand as her successor.
As per updates from the meeting that was held in Lucknow on Sunday, the responsibility of the party for the entire country except Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand was given to Anand.
The party chief, Mayawati, herself will look after Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
Who Is Akash Anand?
Akash, an MBA graduate from London, made his first public appearance in 2016 when he accompanied Mayawati to Saharanpur.
The 28-year-old also shared the stage with her during a rally in Meerut in February 2017. In 2019, Anand was made a ‘star campaigner’ of the BSP.
In April 2019, after the Election Commission banned BSP supremo Mayawati from campaigning for 48 hours, her nephew Akash Anand addressed a joint gathbandhan rally at the Kothi Meena Bazar Ground in Agra.
According to sources, Akash’s induction to the party at that time was a part of Mayawati’s larger policy of attracting young voters towards the BSP.
