Mayawati had benched her nephew Akash Anand while he was campaigning in the recently held Lok Sabha election over his "aggressive" speeches
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati's nephew Akash Anand is back. His aunt had removed him from a key party post a month ago. Today, he received her blessings as he touched her feet after she appointed him BSP national coordinator and named him her political successor.
Mayawati had benched her nephew while he was campaigning in the recently held Lok Sabha election over his "aggressive" speeches, which led to a police case being filed against him. She had advised him to "become mature", until which he would remain benched.
In the BSP's first key meeting on Sunday after the Lok Sabha election, Mayawati put the final stamp on the June 21 decision to allow Mr Anand to campaign for the BSP in the upcoming by-election to an assembly seat in the hill state Uttarakhand.
