Overview

• Randhir Beniwal, a long-time BSP member from Saharanpur and a key figure in recent Haryana and Punjab campaigns, has been appointed as the party's national coordinator.
• Anand Kumar, Mayawati’s brother and BSP vice president, stepped down from his additional role as coordinator, citing a desire to focus on one position.
• Beniwal will share national coordinator duties with Rajya Sabha MP Ramji Gautam, both working directly under Mayawati’s guidance across various states.
• The move is seen as a strategic effort to bolster the BSP’s influence among the Jat community, particularly in western Uttar Pradesh.
• This reshuffle follows Mayawati’s recent removal of her nephew Akash Anand and his father-in-law Ashok Siddarth from party roles due to alleged indiscipline and anti-party activities.
