The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP)’s supremo Mayawati has not been in the crosshairs of the ruling BJP in its campaign for the Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh.
Weeks after the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) recorded its worst-ever Lok Sabha performance, party supremo Mayawati on Sunday reinstated her nephew Akash Anand as her sole political heir and the party’s national coordinator while urging leaders to “give him more respect than earlier”.
The 37-year-old Bhim Army founder and Aazad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) chief, Chandrashekhar Aazad, has caused one of the biggest upsets of the Lok Sabha polls in Uttar Pradesh. Aazad won from the Nagina seat in western UP by over 1.51 lakh votes, defeating the candidates of the BJP, SP and BSP. His victory heralds the rise of a new Dalit force in the country’s heartland amid the decline of the Mayawati-led BSP. In an interview withThe Indian Express, Aazad speaks on various issues including his poll performance and his party ASP(KR)’s future plans. Excerpts:
A day after the results of the Lok Sabha polls were declared, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati appeared to blame Muslims for her party’s worst-ever performance in the Lok Sabha elections.
THE SUDDEN removal by BSP chief Mayawati of nephew Akash Anand as both the party national coordinator and “successor” comes less than five months after she anointed the 28-year-old as her political heir.
The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP)’s president Mayawati seems to have turned over a new leaf as she goes all out to campaign for her party candidates in the Lok Sabha elections across Uttar Pradesh.
BSP national coordinator Akash Anand, 28, is party supremo Mayawati’s nephew andpolitical successor. Besides Mayawati, Anand is the BSP’s main campaigner in the Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh and other states. In a free-wheeling interview with The Indian Express, Anand speaks on a wide range of issues including the state of affairs in the BSP, his plans and the party’s roadmap firmed up by Mayawati, whom he calls “Behenji” in public and “Bua Maa” at home. Excerpts:
With discontentment against the BJP simmering in the Kshatriya community in west UP over the lack of tickets for leaders from the community, the Opposition Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) have sensed an opportunity to deal the ruling party a blow in the region and have reached out to the upper-caste community.
