‘Not working with his own mind’: Mayawati says nephew Akash under Siddharth’s influence

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Mayawati has publicly distanced herself from her nephew, Akash Anand, alleging that he is currently acting under the influence of his father, Anand Kumar, and other individuals, including Siddharth. The statement follows a period of political transition within the party, where Anand had previously been positioned as a potential successor.

Mayawati’s remarks suggest a shift in the internal dynamics of the BSP leadership. By characterizing Anand as not working with his own mind, the party leader has effectively signaled a cooling of the political promotion previously afforded to her nephew, highlighting concerns regarding external influence on his decision-making process.
