Mayawati announces nephew Akash Anand as her political successor at party meet
Lucknow/New Delhi: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati has named her nephew Akash Anand as her political successor.
Akash Anand, a prominent face during Mayawati's Lok Sabha campaign in 2019, was earlier the national coordinator of the party.
The veteran leader announced the same at a key party meeting on Sunday.
This comes a day after Lok Sabha MP Danish Ali, who recently became a target of an unsavory exchange on the floor of the house, was suspended from the BSP.
Akash entered politics in the run-up to the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. He was seen in several photos alongside Mayawati and other top BSP leaders.
Before that, Akash Anand was seen at multiple BSP events and also accompanied his aunt on the 2017 Uttar Pradesh state poll campaign.
