On Monday, BSP chief <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/mayawati\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mayawati<\/a> once again opened the party\u2019s doors to her nephew, reinstating him as national coordinator just three days after he apologised and pledged loyalty to her leadership.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>The latest comeback is not merely another organisational reshuffle. It marks yet another reversal in the increasingly unpredictable political relationship between Mayawati and her chosen successor, with family ties, loyalty and political discipline repeatedly emerging at the centre of the equation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>The \u2018comeback\u2019 cycle<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>Akash Anand\u2019s political journey with the BSP has already seen multiple exits and returns:<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"cdatainfo   id-r-component \" data-pos=\"12\">\n<ul>\n<li>May 2024: Anand was expelled from the BSP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Within a month: He was taken back into the party and subsequently given important responsibilities.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"cdatainfo   id-r-component \" data-pos=\"17\">\n<ul>\n<li>March 2025: He was expelled again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Within a month: He was reinstated once more.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"cdatainfo   id-r-component \" data-pos=\"20\">\n<ul>\n<li>September 2026: Mayawati first removed him as national coordinator and then relieved him completely from the party on September 10.<\/li>\n<li>October 2026: After his apology, Anand has been taken back yet again and reappointed national coordinator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>The pattern makes his latest return his third comeback after an expulsion, adding another chapter to a relationship that has repeatedly swung between political prominence and removal.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>The family question<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>The immediate trigger this time was Anand\u2019s failure to repost Mayawati\u2019s September 9 appeal asking his father-in-law, Ashok Siddharth, to retire from politics.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Mayawati viewed Anand\u2019s silence differently from his earlier public expressions of loyalty. She said it suggested that he remained more attached to family ties than to the BSP and its movement, and questioned whether he could work effectively for the party while caught between the two.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>Siddharth subsequently retired from politics on September 10. But instead of restoring Anand, Mayawati removed him completely from the BSP.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>From defiance to apology<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>Anand\u2019s latest move appears to have been aimed at repairing that breach.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>In his Friday message, he called Mayawati his political guru, inspiration and paternal aunt, and declared that he would never join another political party. <!-- -->He also endorsed her decision regarding Siddharth and acknowledged that his silence over her post had been misunderstood.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/>\u201cIf this has hurt you, then I seek forgiveness from you,\u201d Anand said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/>He also made his political ambition clear: he wanted another opportunity to serve the BSP under Mayawati\u2019s leadership.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"42\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>Another chance \u2014 but with a warning<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>Mayawati accepted the apology after \u201cmuch deliberation\u201d and said the party had decided to give Anand another opportunity in the interest of the organisation and its movement.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"46\"\/>But her message also carried a reminder. She stressed that party discipline remained paramount and that even members of her own family had not been spared strict organisational decisions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"48\"\/>For Anand, therefore, comeback No. 3 brings back the post \u2014 but also the same test that has shadowed his BSP career: whether he can turn repeated assurances of loyalty into sustained political discipline and action.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"51\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>Steadying the BSP Before 2027<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>With the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections due in early 2027, Mayawati has little room for prolonged organisational churn. <!-- -->Her decision to bring Akash Anand back and restore him as national coordinator comes at a time when the BSP is preparing for the polls and trying to sharpen its organisational machinery.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"56\"\/>After repeatedly removing and reinstating her nephew, Mayawati has now chosen to put the latest rupture behind her, at least for the moment. Anand\u2019s apology, his renewed pledge of loyalty and his endorsement of the action against his father-in-law Ashok Siddharth have helped clear the immediate roadblock.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"58\"\/>The timing, therefore, suggests an attempt to steady the BSP boat before the 2027 electoral battle, rather than allow another leadership crisis to consume the party\u2019s attention.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/delhi\/akash-anands-bsp-comeback-no-3-heres-why-mayawati-took-him-back-yet-again\/articleshow\/134707250.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A file photo shows BSP chief Mayawati with her nephew Akash Anand.
