New Delhi. Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati has released the list of star campaigners for the assembly by-elections in Uttarakhand. There are a total of 13 names in this list, in which after Mayawati, the name of her nephew Akash Anand is the second most discussed name. In fact, in the middle of the Lok Sabha elections, Mayawati suddenly took a big decision and took action against Akash Anand and removed him from the post of party coordinator as well as her successor. Mayawati had said that Akash is still immature.

It is believed that this sudden decision taken by the BSP supremo in the middle of the Lok Sabha elections affected some of the party’s voters who were influenced by Akash Anand’s speeches. Due to the action taken against Akash, some people from BSP’s vote bank voted for other parties. BSP had to suffer a huge loss due to this and its account was not even opened. Perhaps understanding this, Mayawati has now included Akash Anand at number two in the party’s star campaigners for the assembly by-elections to be held in Uttarakhand. By the way, let us tell you that BSP did not contest by-elections earlier but looking at the current situation of the party, Mayawati has decided to participate in the by-elections.
The Election Commission has announced by-elections on 13 assembly seats in 7 states. Voting for all these seats will be held on July 10 and the results will be declared after counting on July 13. According to the Election Commission, assembly by-elections are to be held on 1 seat in Bihar, 1 in Madhya Pradesh, 2 in Uttarakhand, 1 in Punjab, 3 in Himachal Pradesh, 4 in West Bengal and 1 in Tamil Nadu. All these seats have fallen vacant due to the resignation or death of MLAs.
