Tejaswini Ananth Kumar, the wife of late Union minister Ananth Kumar, cast her vote in Bengaluru on Thursday. Tejaswini exercised her franchise at a polling booth in Basavanagudi. She was surprisingly denied a ticket by the BJP high command and in her place Tejasvi Surya is contesting from Bengaluru South. Ananth Kumar had won the Bengaluru South Lok Sabha seat six times in a row since 1996. He passed away in November 2018.
