"You're Universal Leader," Says Mayawati's Nephew Akash Anand, Sacked By Her
NDTV
Earlier this week Mayawati removed Akash Anand as the BSP's National Coordinator, and as her heir, "in the larger interest of the party and the movement".
Akash Anand, the nephew of Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati, offered fulsome praise of his aunt this morning, two days after being sacked from a senior post and downgraded as her successor. आदरणीय बहन @mayawati जी, आप पूरे बहुजन समाज के लिए एक आदर्श हैं, करोड़ों देशवासी आपको पूजते हैं। आपके संघर्षों की वजह से ही आज हमारे समाज को एक ऐसी राजनैतिक ताक़त मिली है जिसके बूते बहुजन समाज आज सम्मान से जीना सीख पाया है।आप हमारी सर्वमान्य नेता हैं। आपका आदेश सिर माथे पे।…
In a brief note on X (formerly Twitter), Mr Anand acknowledged his aunt as the BSP's "universally accepted leader" and indicated he would follow orders without question.
"Mayawatiji... you are an ideal for the entire Bahujan Samaj (and) crores of countrymen worship you. It is because of your struggles that today our society has got such a political power due to which the Bahujan Samaj has been able to learn to live with respect."
