Following his dismissal as the national coordinator of the BSP by the party leader and his aunt Mayawati, Akash Anand delivered his inaugural remarks, pledging unwavering commitment to the Bhim mission and the welfare of his community. In a heartfelt post shared on a social media platform, Anand, previously hailed as the prospective face of the BSP, hailed Mayawati as a beacon of inspiration for the Bahujan community.
The term "Bahujan" encompasses Scheduled Castes (Dalits), Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Castes (OBCs). Anand attributed the political empowerment of the Bahujan community to Mayawati's relentless struggles, asserting that her leadership had bestowed dignity upon their society.
Addressing Mayawati as their paramount leader, Anand vowed to persevere tirelessly in advancing the Bhim Mission and advocating for the welfare of his community, expressing his unwavering resolve to do so until his very last breath.
The decision to relieve Anand of his duties transpired on May 7, with Mayawati underscoring the need for him to attain a greater level of maturity before assuming the responsibilities of the party's national coordinator. She announced that Anand Kumar, Akash's father, would continue his tenure within the party.
Anand's dismissal ensued after legal action was initiated against him for alleged violations of the model code. Consequently, several of his scheduled rallies were canceled.
In a scathing critique of the BJP during a speech delivered on April 28, Anand lambasted the party as a "government of terrorists," branding the administration in Uttar Pradesh as a "bulldozer government" and accusing it of neglecting the youth and mistreating the elderly. His impassioned rhetoric likened the BJP's governance to that of the Taliban in Afghanistan, marking a departure from Mayawati's traditional focus on targeting the Congress and Samajwadi Party (SP) in her political discourse.
