Mayawati had alleged that Ashok Siddharth was misleading his son-in-law Akash Anand. His expulsion was announced in August 2026, and the latest action against Akash Anand has once again drawn attention to the internal developments within the BSP ahead of the Uttar Pradesh elections.
Following the repeated expulsion of the father-in-law and son-in-law from the BSP, discussions have also intensified on social media about Akash Anand's wife, Pragya. People are seeking information about who Pragya is and when she married Akash Anand.
Akash Anand's wife Pragya is a doctor. She studied MBBS in London. It is reported that Akash Anand and Pragya met while they were studying in London. The couple married in 2023 at a grand ceremony held in Gurugram. Mayawati also attended the wedding.
A daughter was born to Akash Anand and Pragya in December 2025. Mayawati, who became a grandmother, shared the news on social media and expressed her happiness.
Pragya's father and Akash Anand's father-in-law, Ashok Siddharth, was also a doctor by profession. He had sent his daughter Pragya to London for higher education. Akash Anand completed his early education in Noida and Gurugram before pursuing an MBA from the University of Plymouth in London.
The latest action against Akash Anand follows Mayawati's earlier decision to remove him from the post of National Coordinator, describing him as immature. She has now removed him completely from the BSP.
A month earlier, Mayawati had also expelled Ashok Siddharth from the party. She had stated that he would never be taken back into the BSP again. With both Akash Anand and Ashok Siddharth now expelled from the party again, the developments have put renewed focus on the BSP's internal situation ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections next year.
