Akash Anand's respectable return to BSP was long anticipated. Now, eyes are on his third inning. Will it begin right where he paused or from scratch?
Hints about Akash Anand's third venture came through BSP leader Mayawati's social media activities. Within 24 hours, Mayawati shared several posts. On platform X, she posted four at once and then repeated it. Initially revolving around Akash Anand, the second batch of posts confirmed it as he was mentioned twice.
It's evident that Akash Anand is about to be entrusted with responsibilities. Successorship is off the table, as Mayawati has clarified she remains Kanshi Ram's heir as long as she's active and healthy. Amendments are always possible, with Akash Anand being a prime example.
Further insights into Akash Anand's role and influence are apparent. Mayawati's appeal to BSP leaders and workers highlights that Akash Anand may grow more influential and authoritative in his new journey.
The joyous interruption in Akash Anand's path is his brother Ishan Anand's marriage, now concluded happily. The family's joy resonates, likely influencing the party as well.
On the first day, Mayawati communicated with supporters, advised BSP officials, and alerted political rivals. She clarified recent events involving Akash Anand were necessary. A disclaimer stated the mission is entirely for the Bahujan movement, entirely impersonal.
Mayawati explained the opposition's conspiracies caused some to undermine the party or act undisciplined. Firm measures were taken, but once they realized mistakes and changed, they were reinstated. Opposition parties label it 'Aya Ram Gaya Ram' to tarnish the party's image.
Informing caution against political rivals became a theme. Such incidents were recurrent through the party's history, and other parties face similar challenges. The misinformation against Akash Anand often circulates maliciously.
Ishan Anand's wedding on April 24 halted everything. Anand Kumar, Akash's father, played mediator, soothing Mayawati and facilitating Akash Anand's return.
Despite disagreements, Mayawati didn't truly wish to release Akash Anand. He's always followed her counsel without dissent. Even when initially removed, Akash expressed no discontent, affirming Mayawati's decision was right. Upon seeking forgiveness, he hailed her as his political mentor and ideal.
While angered with Akash, Mayawati considered Ishan Anand, even introducing him during BSP meetings. Although initially aiding his father's business, it became clear politics wasn't his forte.
The difference between brothers is notable in familial context. Ishan's marriage was outside their caste, whereas Akash's was organized by Mayawati, which he accepted without reservations.
Since childhood, Akash has been a favorite of Mayawati's, learning politics through BSP's lenses, eventually named a successor. Mayawati, having observed and assessed him, believes there's truly no one like Akash Anand.
