Akash Anand ‘spreading false rumours about my health’, says Mayawati
Mayawati said in Lucknow that the expelled party leader had called her personal secretary and asked whether she was unwell.
Mayawati, the four-time Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and president of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), criticized her nephew Akash Anand on Sunday, alleging that he was disseminating false rumors about her health. During a press conference in Lucknow, Mayawati stated that the expelled party leader had phoned her personal secretary, Alok Kumar, and inquired about her well-being.
Upon learning that Mayawati was "doing fine and busy with party work," Akash Anand hung up the call, reportedly instructing her not to be informed of their conversation. This incident unfolded shortly after Mayawati dismissed Akash Anand from the party, following his father-in-law Ashok Siddharth's announcement of his retirement from politics.
The BSP removed Anand as its national coordinator on September 3rd. Mayawati urged her party workers to focus on campaigning for the upcoming elections, emphasizing that Akash Anand was still under his father-in-law's influence and not acting independently. She urged the workers to propagate the progressive ideas of Kanshi Ram Ji among the masses and highlight the achievements of the previous BSP governments.
