тАЬAfter much deliberation, the party is now giving Shri Akash Anand the opportunity to work in the party once again by reappointing him as the National Coordinator (National Convenor) of the B.S.P. in the interest of the party and the movement,тАЭ Mayawati said in a post on X.

Background on Previous Actions

The reappointment follows a tumultuous period of internal organisational changes within the BSP leadership. On September 3, Mayawati initially removed Anand from the critical post of national convenor. Shortly thereafter, on September 10, she announced his complete ouster, setting him тАЬcompletely free" from the party and publicly stating that he had prioritised personal and family interests over organisational goals. Monday's announcement marks his return to the prominent leadership fold after previous rollbacks.
