Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), December 10

After the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo and former chief minister Mayawati named her nephew, Akash Anand, as her successor going into the Lok Sabha elections next year, party leader Chaudhary Sheeshpal Singh on Sunday said ‘Behenji’ has shifted focus to the crucial poll battle in 2024 and the move is a step in that direction.

Speaking to ANI on Sunday, Singh weighed in on the big takeaway from the BSP meet chaired by Mayawati saying, “At the meeting, she (Mayawati) said Akash Anand is her only successor, as the leaders whom she entrusted with key responsibilities failed to deliver the goods. I think he (Akash) will prove to be a great leader going forward. As of now, he has been assigned to lift the morale of our cadre in states where we are on a weaker footing. Following in the same path that took us to a win in 2007, Behenji asked us to unite every member of the Bahujan community and fight the Lok Sabha elections with full strength. It was also decided at the meeting that the party will observe Bejenji’s birthday, henceforth, as Public Welfare Day.”
