He said that many strict decisions were taken recently to maintain discipline in the party and his own brothers, sisters and family members were no exception to this.
Mayawati said about Akash Anand that his personality has been fine to a large extent in the party, but in the past there were some reasons due to which many important changes had to be made in the organization. He also mentioned the retirement of Akash Anand's father-in-law Ashok Siddharth from politics. According to Mayawati, after this a change was seen in the personality and working style of Akash Anand.
Mayawati also mentioned Akash Anand's recent social media post, in which he had expressed his desire to work in the party again. Mayawati said most of the party people supported accepting Akash's request and giving him a chance to work again.
Ishaan Anand also agreed
According to Mayawati, Akash Anand's father Anand Kumar and his younger brother Ishan Anand also agreed to his return to the party.

After this, Mayawati said that after much deliberation, in the interest of the party and the movement, Akash Anand is being given a chance to work in the party by making him the national convenor again. He expressed hope that after Ashok Siddharth's retirement from politics, everything will run smoothly in the organization and there will be no need for frequent organizational changes. However, he also said that a lot will depend on Akash Anand going forward.
Mayawati extended her love and blessings to Akash Anand as well as Ishaan Anand and Anand Kumar. He also thanked the Bahujan Samaj and his well-wishers for supporting him in the recent circumstances.
