Lucknow:<\/strong> Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Sunday removed her nephew Akash Anand<\/strong> from all party positions, appointing his father Anand Kumar<\/strong> and Rajya Sabha MP Ramji Gautam<\/strong> as national coordinators in his place. She also declared that she would not name a successor in her lifetime<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Mayawati, the former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, asserted that the party\u2019s interests come before family ties<\/strong>, emphasizing that the BSP and its movement are supreme<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This decision comes after she had earlier sacked Akash Anand last year, only to reinstate him later and name him as her political heir. However, citing internal conflicts<\/strong>, she has once again stripped him of his responsibilities.<\/p>\n

In a strong rebuke, Mayawati blamed Akash Anand\u2019s father-in-law, Ashok Siddharth<\/strong>, for dividing the party and weakening its foundation. \u201cHe also ruined the political career of Akash Anand,\u201d<\/strong> she said.<\/p>\n

Last month, Siddharth was expelled from the BSP over charges of factionalism and anti-party activities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

New Leadership and Party Strategy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mayawati has entrusted Anand Kumar<\/strong> and Ramji Gautam<\/strong> with the responsibility of strengthening the BSP\u2019s organizational structure across India.<\/p>\n

She praised her brother Anand Kumar, who also serves as the BSP\u2019s national vice-president<\/strong>, for his dedication to the party. \u201cBe it paperwork, Income Tax matters, or legal battles, he has always handled them with commitment,\u201d<\/strong> she noted, adding that he had also cared for BSP founder Kanshi Ram<\/strong> during his illness.<\/p>\n

To prevent further political disruptions, Anand Kumar deliberately married his children into non-political families<\/strong>, she revealed, ensuring that no one could harm the party like Ashok Siddharth did<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Political Roadmap and Criticism of Governments<\/strong><\/h3>\n

During the meeting, Mayawati emphasized the importance of expanding the BSP\u2019s reach to all sections of society and resolving organizational shortcomings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

She strongly criticized both the central and Uttar Pradesh governments<\/strong>, calling their budgets \u201cunrealistic and disconnected from ground realities.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Accusing the government of neglecting key issues, she said, \u201cRising inflation, poverty, unemployment, and backwardness continue to worsen, yet the government remains indifferent.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

She further argued that \u201cIndia continues to be a country of the poor despite being called a rich nation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reaffirming the BSP\u2019s commitment to B.R. Ambedkar\u2019s ideals<\/strong>, Mayawati vowed that the party would continue working for the upliftment of marginalized communities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
