Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Mayawati says her nephew, Akash Anand, needs to become more politically mature before taking on a major role in the party. She rules out any immediate, large BSP position for him, while discussing broader leadership expectations within the organization.

Mayawati also reiterates that the BSP plans to contest elections independently across India, indicating it will field candidates in all elections “big or small.” In her remarks, she criticizes the Congress party, saying it is strongly anti-Dalit and anti-Ambedkar. She also raises concerns about the RSS, pointing to what she describes as a mismatch between its statements and actions.

The two outlets present the same core points: Mayawati’s view of Akash Anand’s readiness for greater responsibility and the party’s stated strategy of contesting elections on its own, alongside her repeated criticism of Congress and the RSS.
