Mayawati took over the command of BSP two decades ago

Mayawati has been the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh four times. She has been a member of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. She has been a member of the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council in UP. BSP founder Kanshiram had declared her as his political successor two decades ago. This year, Mayawati has also announced the name of Akash Anand as her successor. Akash has also been given the responsibility of national coordinator.

Earlier in May, during the Lok Sabha election campaign, BSP chief Mayawati had relieved Akash Anand of all responsibilities. Mayawati had removed Akash from the post of National Coordinator and her successor. The BSP chief had decided to give both these responsibilities to Akash in December 2023. Mayawati said that Akash Anand would be kept away from both the important responsibilities until he attains full maturity. However, after the election results came in June, Akash was once again made powerful and was given all the responsibilities back.
