Mayawati reappoints nephew Akash Anand as party national coordinator

The decision comes weeks after the BSP's devastating performance in the Lok Sabha elections. On May 7, Mayawati removed Akash, 28, from the position, citing his need to gain "maturity" before taking on the role of national coordinator. Despite this, she affirmed that Anand Kumar, Akash's father, would maintain his position within the party. During a review meeting, Akash's reinstatement was decided to analyze the party's poor showing in the elections.
