Akash stares at BSP exit: Why Mayawati decided to ‘free’ nephew ahead of UP polls

Amid political turmoil, Akash Anand has again been demoted by Mayawati, who has questioned her nephew’s maturity. His X profile has devolved from National Convenor to Party Worker and now to Supporter. His younger sibling, Ishan Anand, has been brought to the centre stage. Mayawati freed Akash political prospects to his father-in-law’s exit from the scene, as the BSP confronts a challenging landscape with dwindling votes and approaching UP elections.
