Mayawati Drops Hammer: Akash Anand Stripped Of BSP Succession, Uttar Pradesh Reacts

In Uttar Pradesh, the BJP-led NDA alliance faces the formidable INDIA Alliance. The once-dominant BSP, notably absent, has made headlines with Mayawati removing her nephew, Akash Anand, as her successor due to his lack of political maturity. Despite a shrinking voter base, BSP still holds influence. Akash's rise and subsequent removal reveal internal rifts, possibly stemming from BSP's tacit support for BJP. His removal signals a shift in BSP's approach, surprising many. #UttarPradesh #INDIAAlliance #BJPLedNDA #BSP #Mayawati #AkashAnand #Politics #Oneindia #Oneindianews ~HT.178~ED.103~GR.125~
