Msayawati added, “It is known that BSP, besides being a party, is also a movement for self-respect and self-esteem of Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and social change for which Kanshi Ram ji and I have dedicated our entire lives, and a new generation is also being prepared to give it momentum.” Akash was promoted to the position of Mayawati’s successor in December 2023.
1. विदित है कि बीएसपी एक पार्टी के साथ ही बाबा साहेब डा भीमराव अम्बेडकर के आत्म-सम्मान व स्वाभिमान तथा सामाजिक परिवर्तन का भी मूवमेन्ट है जिसके लिए मान्य. श्री कांशीराम जी व मैंने खुद भी अपनी पूरी ज़िन्दगी समर्पित की है और इसे गति देने के लिए नई पीढ़ी को भी तैयार किया जा रहा है।

Mayawati added that the decision to remove Aaksah from the crucial position of the party was taken in the larger interest of the party. However, Mayawati, reiterated that Aakash’s father, Anand Kumar, will continue to fulfill his responsibilities in the party and the movement as before. Therefore, the leadership of BSP is not going to shy away from making every kind of sacrifice in the interest of the party and the movement and in taking forward the caravan of Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar.
With Mayawati’s decision signaling a shift in the party’s leadership dynamics, all eyes are now on the BSP’s next steps and the implications for its future trajectory in Uttar Pradesh and beyond.
