Bahujan to parivarjan, BSP’s transformation

Hindustan Times  

Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati’s announcement that her nephew Akash Anand will succeed her as party chief points to the distance the outfit has travelled since the passing of founder Kanshi Ram in 2006. Under Ram, the BSP, established in 1984, was a party that drew energy from grassroots mobilisations, especially of the Dalits. Ram, an Ambedkarite, also shaped the BSP as a broad platform party of Bahujans. PREMIUM Mayawati arrives for the BSP meeting with her nephew Akash Anand at the party office in Lucknow on Sunday.
