After Expelling Nephew, Mayawati Attacks SP, Congress
Congress and the Samajwadi Party reacted after Mayawati said Akash Anand was completely freed from the Bahujan Samaj Party, deepening the party split.
- On Thursday, Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati announced she had "completely freed" her nephew, Akash Anand, from the party, marking a major shift in his political trajectory.
- This follows Anand's removal as BSP national coordinator last week, which occurred after Mayawati indicated she might reconsider his position if his father-in-law, Ashok Siddharth, withdrew from active politics.
- Congress spokesperson Surendra Rajput criticized the move on Friday, stating that "as long as Mayawati ji is there, Akash Anand doesn't need any enemy," citing concerns about his political future.
- The Samajwadi Party labeled the expulsion an internal Bahujan Samaj Party affair, though spokesperson Fakhrul Hasan Chand indicated the party is open to welcoming Anand if he seeks a new political foothold.
- Siddharth subsequently announced his decision to "renounce" political life in an emotional post, leaving Anand to determine his next steps following his separation from the Bahujan Samaj Party leadership.
