We have to rise above the attachment to brothers, sisters and close relatives: Mayawati
Former UP CM Mayawati wrote on social media platform After coming into politics, Honorable Shri Kanshi Ram ji, the father and founder of the organization, has always kept away from giving political benefits to all his close relations etc. He has been allowed to work in the party organization only with a selfless spirit. Not only this, but he has dedicated his entire life, instead of creating his own family, for the interest and welfare of 'Bahujan Samaj'. Inspired by him, I also decided to follow his footsteps and have dedicated my entire life to 'Bahujan Samaj'.
Had to keep brother and sister with me out of compulsion: Mayawati
Mayawati clarified on keeping brother Anand Kumar and his children in the party. He said, '…being a girl, I have been forced to always keep one or the other of my siblings with me, due to which my younger brother Shri Anand Kumar has been working in my service for the last many years. And on his special request, I have had to promote his elder son Shri Akash Anand from his family in politics. Since his marriage, Shri Akash Anand's attitude and activities have been such at every step due to which he had to be expelled from the party again a few days ago. That is, now he is completely entangled in the web of his father-in-law Shri Ashok Siddharth, taking him back into the party would be a big betrayal for the party, which I can never do in this anti-party wrongdoing.

1. Today again I have to say to the party people that keeping in mind my own experience, if they want to be successful in politics and do something for the society, then like me, they should rise above the attachment of their brothers, sisters and close relations etc. and work with full honesty and integrity…

Mayawati's big decision regarding Anand Kumar's family
Mayawati further said, 'In such a situation, whether I should promote anyone from Shri Anand Kumar's family in the party or not, it has been a dilemma for me for some time now, putting an end to this, after thinking very seriously on every aspect, I have decided that such a member of his family should now be promoted in the party, who does not follow in the footsteps of Akash at all. And as far as taking help from his daughter in future is concerned, after she gets married, if her case also turns out to be like that of Shri Akash Anand, then it will also not be right in the interest of the party. Keeping such a possibility in mind, it would be appropriate in the interest of the party that Shri Akash Anand and his sister should be kept away from giving any responsibility in the party, that is, there will be no change in their decision now.

Only Ishaan Anand will get big responsibilities: Mayawati
BSP supremo Mayawati has talked about taking Anand Kumar's second son Ishaan Anand forward by giving him bigger responsibilities in the party. In such a situation, he is being seen as the political successor of Mayawati. He said, 'From Anand Kumar's family, only Mr. Ishaan Anand will be given a respectable responsibility in the party and he will never have any affair like Mr. Akash Anand and his sister. So far it seems to be the case. Nothing further can be said. Still, if he commits any such serious act against the party, then he will also be shown the way out of the party, but in such a situation, no other member of Shri Anand Kumar's family will be given any big or small responsibility of the party.
Dalit class worker will get big responsibility
Mayawati said in her post that only any missionary or loyal worker of the Dalit class working in the party will be promoted. He said, 'Along with the important issues of country and public interest, now the B.S.P. of 23 September has also been discussed regarding this special issue. An extremely important All-India meeting has been called so that the party people can engage whole-heartedly in the work of their party.
