Anil Kumar: the state in-charge of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), resigned from the party for personal reasons, dealing the party even further shock after the results of the 2025 Assembly elections dealt it a serious blow in Bihar.
The party’s state incharge of Bihar, Anil Kumar, has resigned from both his position and the party’s main membership.
Discussions among the party’s organizational echelons and political buzz around the state have been created by his unexpected departure.
Anil Kumar informed BSP head Mayawati in his letter of resignation that he was unable to continue working for the party because of unforeseen personal circumstances.
He expressed gratitude to the party leadership for their assistance and direction during his term.
At a time when the BSP is already having difficulties after a poor showing in the Assembly elections, Anil Kumar’s departure is seen as a serious setback.
According to party sources, national coordinator Akash Anand attended a review meeting that took place two days ago.
Some executives allegedly questioned Anil Kumar’s organizational choices and functioning at the meeting.
Internal tensions increased when Anil Kumar said that the governing party was trying to “lure away” Satish Yadav, the BSP’s lone MLA.
Regarding the resignation, the BSP has not yet released a formal statement. An significant decision over the appointment of a new state-in-charge for Bihar is anticipated to be made shortly by party leaders.
This event coincides with new post-election realignments in Bihar’s political landscape.
However, BSP Rajya Sabha MP Ramji Gautam was upbeat, saying that the party’s vote share has grown since the last election and that the BSP still has a lot of space to expand in the state.
In Ramgarh, the BSP secured one seat in the just ended Bihar Assembly election. Satish Yadav, the party’s candidate, narrowly beat the BJP candidates by a mere thirty votes.
Yadav met and received blessings from Mayawati, the party’s national president, a few days after winning the election.
