After Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati gave a clear signal to party leaders to return to the Dalit agenda and ensure that party’s trusted lieutenants were chosen as candidate for the coming parliamentary elections, party’s national coordinator Akash Anand called upon party workers and supporters to gear up to fight for social justice.

BSP chief Mayawati named Akash Anand as her political successor at a national level meeting held at the party’s state unit office last Sunday.

“Party chief Mayawati has entrusted upon me the responsibility of carrying forward the ideology of Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar and Kanshi Ram for the development of Dalits, the exploited and deprived society in the country…. I will undertake the responsibility with full devotion and honesty,” Akash Anand said in a post on social media platform X.

“The Bahujan Samaj Party is a mission and we have to take it to every corner of the country. I express my heartfelt gratitude to all workers and supporters. The support of all young friends is very important in this journey. I want to join you, want to walk with you, because this fight for social justice is very long,” he said.

This message of Akash is loud and clear that in the coming days, he will work on the old agenda set by his aunt and party chief Mayawati. The BSP supremo, during the meeting on Sunday, told the senior leaders that instead of looking towards new leaders joining the party, they must concentrate on party’s loyalists who were with her all the time and contributed to fulfilling the desire of Dr Ambedkar and party founder Kanshi Ram of carrying forward the Dalit agenda to get justice for the deprived class.
