Mayawati Instigates BSP Shake‑Up, Bringing Nephews into Leadership Ahead of UP Elections

Mayawati announced a fresh shake‑up in the Bahujan Samaj Party, bringing her nephews into prominent leadership roles. The move comes as the party readies itself for the upcoming Uttar Pradesh elections. By placing family members in key positions, Mayawati aims to consolidate control and energise the party base. Critics argue the appointments could create confusion among voters and party workers, while supporters see it as a strategy to strengthen the BSP’s electoral prospects.
