Bahujan Samaj Party leader Akash Anand has called Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav 'uncle'. Akhilesh Yadav has called Mayawati as aunt. The new address for Akhilesh Yadav, known as 'Akhilesh Bhaiya' among his workers, is shocking. Many people are also telling Akash Anand that he should not say this. The politics of the future is hidden in Akash Anand's 'Akal' statement, which he has successfully capitalized on.

Akash Anand's target was not only Akhilesh Yadav, he has also attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government of Uttar Pradesh. He criticized the government on the issues of employment, education and law and order. Akash Anand also targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and called both of them uncle. Akash Anand was addressing a public meeting in Saadabad assembly of Hathras.

Why is Akash Anand suddenly active?

Akash Anand has been the national coordinator of BSP and is the nephew of party chief Mayawati. Now the party has started preparations for next year's assembly elections. It seems that Bahujan Samaj Party is ready to enter the electoral fray by making Akash Anand its face. Mayawati herself seems to be less active in public meetings. झ

Why did Akash Anand suddenly come into limelight?

The speech given by Akash Anand in Hathras is being discussed a lot. He said, 'In the last 10 years, the government spent more than Rs 7,000 crore on advertisements to hide its shortcomings. More than 4 lakh government posts are lying vacant in the state and papers have been leaked in many examinations. If this money was spent on examinations and employment, many youth would have got jobs. More than 25,000 schools have been closed in the state.

Akash Anand called Akhilesh Yadav 'uncle'

Targeting Samajwadi Party and Akhilesh Yadav, he said that the PDA (Backward, Dalit, Minority) formula is changing. Akash Anand said that the definition of PDA is changing every moment.

What is the intention of calling Akhilesh 'Uncle'?

A Samajwadi Party spokesperson said that Akash Anand considers himself a contractor of the youth. Bahujan Samaj Party has lost its existence since 2012, Mayawati's party is now trying to save its existence.

Samajwadi Party spokesperson Tariq Khan said, 'This is not Mayawati's politics. We will call her sister. Calling someone based on age is not a political tradition. Thus, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is at grandfather's age, call him Dada. Call Home Minister Amit Shah uncle. What does age have to do with politics? This is childish. Mayawati had a support base, Akash Anand is still a newbie. There is zero grip on the ground. Such things are petty and reflect political immaturity. First struggle, then become a leader and talk like a leader.

Political analysts say that Akash Anand is trying to prove himself as the leader of 'Gen G' generation by calling Akhilesh Yadav as uncle.

The ideology of Samajwadi Party is on the old pattern. Akhilesh Yadav is now getting old, hence he is not able to connect with the youth. Bahujan Samaj Party leader Bedi Kumar said, 'Akash Anand wants to make Bahujan Samaj Party a party of those youth who are angry with the employment, education and examination scams and are bored with the old faces.'

With whom will Akash Anand go?

Bahujan Samaj Party's attitude is currently against all three, Samajwadi Party, Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party. The party can contest the elections as an independent candidate in 2027. He has distanced himself from both Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav by calling them uncles.

Akash Anand is clearly saying in his public meetings that BSP will neither get trapped in the PDA formula of Samajwadi Party nor with Congress. As Mayawati's nephew, he is simultaneously targeting the opposition parties while strengthening his legacy in the party. Bahujan Samaj Party will now decide its direction keeping in mind the youth and Bahujan politics.
