Lucknow: In a significant move to revitalize the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), party chief Mayawati has appointed her nephew, Akash Anand, as the new National Convener. This promotion makes him the second most powerful leader in the party after her.
Expanded Responsibilities
All state presidents and national coordinators will now report directly to Akash Anand. According to party sources, this new role will also increase his influence in the politics of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, which were previously managed solely by Mayawati.
