Mayawati Backs Akash Anand, Rules Out Ashok Siddharth Return

BSP chief Mayawati praised her nephew Akash Anand for prioritizing party work over family, while firmly shutting down any possibility of Ashok Siddharth returning to the party.

Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati stated on Sunday that her nephew Akash Anand is demonstrating maturity by putting organizational duties above family ties. Emphasizing that the Bahujan Samaj harbors high expectations from him, the party supremo made these remarks while announcing a series of upcoming public events and rallies across Uttar Pradesh and other states.

Upcoming Rallies and Public Addresses

According to the BSP leader, Akash Anand will address party rallies in Bulandshahr on October 28, Saharanpur on November 2, Ayodhya on November 20, Agra on November 22, and Kanpur Nagar on November 29. Furthermore, he will participate as the chief guest at a seminar organized by the party in Punjab on November 26 to mark Constitution Day. He is also scheduled to address a seminar in Haridwar district, Uttarakhand, on December 6 on the occasion of the Mahaparinirvan Diwas of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.

Reasons Behind Ashok Siddharth's Ouster

Mayawati addressed recent political developments on her social media platform, noting that following Ashok Siddharth retirement from politics, Akash Anand has immersed himself in party work with sound judgment. Mayawati stated on X that among the unpleasant incidents that occurred within the party previously, Ashok Siddharth was largely responsible rather than Akash Anand. This accountability led to his expulsion and the advice that he step away from active politics. She firmly dismissed speculations regarding his potential comeback, declaring that he will not be taken back into the party under any circumstances or at any cost.

Warning Against Rumors and Party Vigilance

The BSP chief cautioned party leaders and workers against selfish elements attempting to spread misinformation through various tactics. She urged supporters to remain vigilant and dedicate themselves to ensuring the success of the programs assigned to Akash Anand. The leadership emphasized unity and active grassroots mobilization ahead of the scheduled public meetings.

Ishaan Anand Joins Central Office Operations

Additionally, Mayawati announced that Akash Anand younger brother, Ishaan Anand, will assist with operations at the BSP central office in New Delhi. Having completed his law education from London, Ishaan Anand will work under her direct guidance to manage election-related tasks and documentation processes, bolstering the party administrative and legal framework.
