BSP chief Mayawati says she is ruling out roles for her nephews, Akash Anand and Ishan Anand, while indicating that their sister, Deepika Anand, could be considered. In a post on X on Saturday, she states that she will not assign responsibilities to the two nephews, but leaves open the possibility of involving their sister in future plans.
The announcement is presented as another development in what outlets describe as Mayawati’s succession discussion. NDTV frames the update as part of an ongoing “succession saga,” noting that the shift from two nephews to their sibling is a notable change in the names being discussed. While the reports focus on Mayawati’s public statements, they do not detail any specific role or timeline for Deepika Anand, nor do they provide additional information about the remaining succession decision-making process.
