At an emergency press conference, Mayawati announced that her nephew, Akash Anand, who was targeted by “casteist media” would be inducted in the BSP movement.

Mayawati on Thursday slammed those targeting her party, calling them casteist and saying they were indulging in dirty politics.

“But lately, they have been dragging in my nephew Akash. This makes me ponder about future. I will give Akash Anand the opportunity to join BSP’s movement and give him a chance to learn,” she said.
