Mayawati's successor experiment and Akash's resignation…

When Bahujan Samaj party leader mayawati had declared her brother's son akash Anand as her political successor in november 2023, this possibility was being expressed for a long time. Akash, who entered politics after taking business management training in London, has to prove himself capable to face political challenges. Political challenges are different for any leadership in indian society. For example, the political challenges faced by jawaharlal nehru during the movement against british rule were fundamentally different from those faced by Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar.

Ambedkar's political legacy

The background of formation of Bahujan Samaj party is the political legacy of Dr. Ambedkar. It aims to bring the caste-class, which has been ruled and exploited for centuries in the indian society, to a state of equality. The experiment of Bahujan Samaj party can be considered successful in Uttar Pradesh in the sense that the government was formed there under the Chief Ministership of its leader mayawati and this was possible only by going through the experiment of coordination with almost all the parties vying for power in parliamentary democracy. .

For the first time, the government was formed with the Samajwadi party, for the second time with the bharatiya janata party and for the third time with the majority of MLAs who won on the BSP election symbol. After forming the party through a social campaign and then leading the government, the Bahujan Samaj party could not expand beyond Uttar Pradesh nor could it save the power to gain power in Uttar Pradesh. The BSP, which formed the government in 2007 by winning 206 seats in the 403-member house and securing 30.43 percent votes, was reduced to 12.88 percent votes in the 2022 assembly elections.
