Tejasvi Surya, who filed his nomination from Bangalore South on April 4, disclosed total assets of ₹4.10 crore in the affidavit documents, as reported by the Indian Express. This marks a significant increase in assets compared to the ₹13.46 lakh declared during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
As per the affidavit, Surya’s primary sources of investments, as the BJP Yuva Morcha national President and incumbent MP, were shares and mutual funds, with investments of ₹1.79 crore in shares and ₹1.99 crore in mutual funds.
Surya recently expressed confidence in the BJP-JDS coalition winning the seat by a margin exceeding 5 lakh votes. He highlighted the support received from the citizens of Bangalore South in 2019, emphasizing the anticipated historic third term for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In his interaction with news agency ANI on March 25, Surya remarked on the strength derived from the BJP-JDS alliance at the grassroots level, expressing confidence in a positive impact across all 28 Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka.
During the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the Congress and JD-S had formed a coalition against the BJP, resulting in a significant victory for the latter, securing a record 25 seats out of 28. Karnataka, with 28 Lok Sabha seats, is scheduled to vote in two phases on April 26 and May 7, as part of the seven-phase Lok Sabha Elections 2024, beginning on April 19.
