At the Thursday rally, BSP chief Mayawati accused SP of exploiting Dalit icons and told party workers that BSP will contest the state polls solo in 2027.
Mayawati blames Akash's political immaturity, influence of father-in-law & wife. BSP workers say it was a result of an internal rift in which Ramji Gautam's side emerged successful.
This comes after Akash was booked for violating the MCC by comparing BJP govt to Taliban & calling it a 'terrorist govt'. Party insiders say the decision could demoralise cadres.
Akash Anand, the 28-yr-old with an MBA degree, was introduced to BSP workers in 2017. Mayawati says he will now oversee party’s poll prep in all states except UP & Uttarakhand.
BSP chief says UCC should be implemented with awareness & general consent, not by force. Later in the day, former NDA ally SBSP too endorsed a Uniform Civil Code.
Nick Jonas is not trying to modernise the mangalsutra, but his gesture shows that choices can be equal. If commitment must be flaunted, it need not be gendered.
