He is also the president of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha since 26 September 2020..

Early and personal life

Tejasvi Surya was born in Bangalore, Karnataka on 16 November 1990 to Rama and L. A. Suryanarayana, who had previously been Joint Commissioner of Excise. At the age of 9, he sold his paintings and donated the amount to the Army's Kargil fund.

He is trained in Carnatic music and founded an NGO called Arise India, which works in the area of school education. He has previously written for IndiaFacts. Surya considers B. R. Ambedkar as an inspiration since childhood.

Political career

Early years

Surya was an active member of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and was even the General Secretary of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM). He had actively contributed to the Bharatiya Janata Party campaign for the 2014 Indian general election and in 2017 he helped organise the BJP's 'Mangalore Chalo' rally. He then led the Digital Communications Team of Karnataka BJP during the 2018 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election. As a lawyer, he had represented many BJP leaders like Mahesh Hegde (editor of Post-Card News), Pratap Simha (MP from Mysore) and had helped lawyer Ashok Haranhalli in defending corruption cases of B.S. Yeddyurappa. He has been mentored by R. Ashoka and V. Somanna, while his uncle, Ravi Subramanya, is a senior leader of the BJP and an MLA representing Basavanagudi.

17th Lok Sabha

The Bangalore South (Lok Sabha constituency) was governed since 1996 by former minister Ananth Kumar until his death in 2018. Tejasvi Surya was chosen to contest for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from this constituency over Kumar's wife, Tejaswini Ananth Kumar, due to his previous work. While she initially had the support of BJP Karnataka state president B.S. Yeddyurappa, senior BJP and RSS leader B.L. Santosh convinced the party's leadership to choose Surya. He won the elections by defeating B. K. Hariprasad of Congress by 331,192 votes, making him the youngest MP to represent the BJP, after having assumed office at the age of 28 years, 6 months, 7 days.

Surya took oath as an MP in Kannada on 17 June 2019. In June 2019, he requested the central government to revert its 2014 decision to remove the requirement of knowing the local language in the recruitment for banks. On 10 July 2019, during the Zero Hour, Surya requested the Home Minister Amit Shah to extend the National Register of Citizens (NRC) to Karnataka, citing the increasing influx of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in his state. When a holy site was vandalised in Hampi, Surya raised the issue in Parliament, urging the government to ensure better security for the country's sacred monuments. He sought to know whether the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare would ban electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), including e-cigarettes.

In October 2019, Surya expressed his concern over the short term for the city's Mayor. He urged the Chief Minister of Karnataka to draft and pass an exclusive legislation for Bangalore, the Nava Bengaluru Act, to replace the Karnataka Municipalities Act, 1975. On the problem of garbage in Bangalore, Surya responded that he could only bring it to the notice of the authorities and suggested to scold them. He then claimed he lacked any authority to solve the problem. This response received mixed criticism from the public.

During the COVID-19 pandemic in India, Surya launched a Bangalore South coronavirus task force, which included free home delivery of essential goods, emergency medical assistance, and mobile COVID-19 testing kiosks.

President of BJYM

Surya, was made the president of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, the party's youth wing on 26 September 2020.

Political views

Surya is a strong supporter of Hindutva. He credits Swami Vivekananda, BR Ambedkar, Aurobindo and Vir Savarkar for inspiring him and shaping his ideology of Hindutva and Indian cultural pride. He is an RSS swayamsevak and has been a supporter of same-sex marriage. He attributed the Citizenship Amendment Act protests to be led by 'uneducated, illiterate, and puncture-wallahs'. He also said 'namby-pamby secularism had no place in new India'. Surya had previously called the supporters of Narendra Modi as patriots, and claimed that those who did not support Modi were "anti-India". On another occasion, he had said that the "BJP should unapologetically be a party for Hindus".

Initiatives

Since being elected to office, he consistently takes up the Urban Mobility Crisis in Bangalore and is working on getting speedy clearances for big-ticket public transport solutions for Bangalore. On 7 October 2020 Bengaluru Commuter Rail project was approved.

Realising Bangalore South has the most number of students who secured single-digit marks in the Tenth standard public examinations in Karnataka, he started the Bengaluru South Education and Social Transformation (BEST) project which aims to transform the academic infrastructure of schools in Bangalore South.

He launched Udyoga Mitra, an initiative to connect job-seekers with companies in Bangalore. The MP's office joined hands with Fidelitus Corp, Shilpa Foundation, ACT INDIA Foundation and other such established NGOs and companies for the Udyoga Mitra initiative.

During the COVID-19 pandemic in India, Surya launched a Bangalore South coronavirus task force, which included free home delivery of essential goods, emergency medical assistance, and mobile COVID-19 testing kiosks.

Controversies

1. The Indian National Congress, an Indian political party, shared screenshots of tweets posted by a woman who alleged that Surya had abused her. Following this and the announcement of his Lok Sabha candidature, Surya obtained a temporary injunction against 49 media outlets and social media platforms, restraining them from publishing any "defamatory statements" against him. In April 2019, Surya was summoned by the Karnataka State Commission for Women for his alleged abuse of the woman, in addition to a tweet of his that opposed reservations for women (after Mahila Congress lodged complaint against him). The Commission later dropped the case at the request of the woman in question, who wrote that she and Surya were "good friends" and that the complaint against him by the Congress was "politically motivated". He later deleted the tweet which criticized the reserved representation of women without any apologies.
2. The otherization efforts of Muslims by referring that the election defeat in Jayanagar was due to Muslims and the opposition Congress is a Muslim party statements were condemned by former public prosecutor BT Venkatesh for going against the pluralism enshrined in the constitution and the lawyer Leo Saldanha called on President Ram Nath Kovind and Vice-President Venkaiah Naidu to suspend the MP for breaking the constitutional oath.
3. For CAA, the Act addressing neighbouring Muslim majority countries only for religious persecution and to exclude Muslims only in the provision had triggered series of protests in India and globally by Muslims and pro-human rights sections fearing religious discrimination made legal by law. At this juncture, on December 2019, his statement that only 'puncturewalla' folks oppose CAA was condemned by many as it colloquially refers to the blue collar Muslim population in Bangalore.
4. Surya's 2015 tweet quoting Tarek Fatah's crass remarks about sexual lives of Arab women that "95% of Arab women have never had an orgasm last few hundred years! Every mother has produced kids as act of sex and not love." was criticized by Sanjay Jha and prominent citizens of Arab countries including Arab royals, lawyers and academicians across Arab countries in April 2020 As one of the fact-checking website co-founder Mohammed Zubair highlighted, his tweet published in agreement to the remarks and failing to apologize for the remarks were condemned by the social media.
5. On April 2020, at Government's request his tweet attributing acts of violence and terror confining towards a specific community had to be legally taken down by Twitter.
6. On October 2020, some sections of Indian diaspora living in Europe objected to the Indian Consulate to withdraw the invitation to Surya for him being chosen to be preside in startup conference hosted by the Indian Consulate in Hamburg, Germany. Their concern was having such polarizing figure given a platform that will further radicalize the right wing on communal ideologies in Germany that can threaten the diversity and equal opportunities based European ethos.
