Bengaluru, Sep 5 : Tejaswini Ananth Kumar, wife of the late Union Minister and BJP leader Ananth Kumar, met Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Monday, fuelling speculations of her joining the Congress party.
She, however, denied joining the Congress. “I met Shivakumar to discuss state politics. I am still a member of the BJP and has no plans to leave the party,” Tejaswini added.
Shivakumar also wrote on X: “Smt @Tej_AnanthKumar wife of senior BJP leader Dr Ananth Kumar, met me today at Kumara Krupa guest house and discussed state political issues.”
The meeting comes in the wake of the BJP denying Tejaswini a ticket to contest 2019 Lok Sabha election and 2023 assembly election. She also has been very vocal against BJP leadership.
So far, Tejaswini has not divulged her future plans, but her meeting with Shivakumar has become a talking point in political circles.
