Mayawati Appoints Randhir Beniwal as BSP National Coordinator, Replacing Brother Anand Kumar

The reshuffle follows Anand Kumar's request to focus solely on his role as BSP vice president, with Beniwal tasked to strengthen the party's outreach under Mayawati's guidance.

• 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.
