2019 Lok Sabha Elections
He won the elections by defeating B. K. Hariprasad of Congress by 3,31,192 votes.
Controversy
Tejasvi Surya, in his Twitter, faced backlash over quoting Tarek Fatah's "sexual" remarks on Arab women, in a tweet from 2015. Following this and the announcement of his Lok Sabha candidature, Surya arranged for an injunction against 49 media outlets and social media platforms restraining them from publishing any "defamatory statements" against him.
