Move to name heir seen as bid to inject youthful energy into BSP

IndiaTimes Sunday, 10 December 2023
Mayawati, the BSP supremo, named her nephew Akash Anand as her successor, marking the first time she has officially designated a successor. Akash Anand holds an MBA from London and is the son of Mayawati's brother Anand Kumar, who is the party's vice president. Mayawati emphasized that Akash would work as any other party worker, contributing to the mission and movement of BSP. This decision aims to inject youthful energy into the party and counter the growing influence of Azad Samaj Party chief Chandra Shekhar Azad among the Dalit electorate.

The second phase of polling in Uttar Pradesh on April 26 holds high stakes for several prominent faces, including actress Hema Malini, actor Arun Govil, and former BSP leader Danish Ali. In the eight constituencies going to polls – Amroha, Meerut, Baghpat, Ghaziabad, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Bulandshahr, Aligarh, and Mathura – unemployment has emerged as a major concern, with youth expressing anger over recruitment exam paper leaks and lack of job opportunities.
