The Supreme Court suspended the conviction of former BSP MP Afzal Ansari in a 2007 Gangsters Act case, allowing him to regain his membership in Parliament. Ansari was convicted under the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act. The court ruled that Ansari can attend parliamentary proceedings but cannot vote or receive any perks. The court also directed the Allahabad High Court to decide on Ansari's appeal by June 30, 2024. One justice dissented from the majority verdict and denied Ansari's plea for a stay of conviction.

Mayawati Drops Hammer: Akash Anand Stripped Of BSP Succession, Uttar Pradesh Reacts

In Uttar Pradesh, the BJP-led NDA alliance faces the formidable INDIA Alliance. The once-dominant BSP, notably absent, has made headlines with Mayawati removing her nephew, Akash Anand, as her successor due to his lack of political maturity. Despite a shrinking voter base, BSP still holds influence. Akash's rise and subsequent removal reveal internal rifts, possibly stemming from BSP's tacit support for BJP. His removal signals a shift in BSP's approach, surprising many. #UttarPradesh #INDIAAlliance #BJPLedNDA #BSP #Mayawati #AkashAnand #Politics #Oneindia #Oneindianews ~HT.178~ED.103~GR.125~
