Tejasvi Surya, Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) candidate from Bengaluru South constituency in Karnataka, has been in the public eye after the party on Tuesday, 26 March, announced its decision to field him from a seat which is considered a BJP bastion.
And with the public eye turning towards him, an old tweet (which has now been deleted) has become an embarrassment for the 28-year-old lawyer and BJP youth wing leader.
In a 2014 tweet, Tejasvi had written about “dreading” the day Women’s reservation Bill becomes a reality. The women’s reservation has been stalled over the years with members across party lines blocking it.
