Lakya Suryanarayana Tejasvi Surya, an Indian politician, lawyer, and RSS Swayamsevak, currently serves as a Member of Parliament in the 17th Lok Sabha from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led by Shri Narendra Modi, representing Bangalore South constituency. Born on November 16, 1990, in Bangalore, Karnataka, Surya hails from a family with a political background; his father is the former Joint Commissioner of Excise, and his uncle is a three-time MLA. From a young age, Surya displayed a philanthropic spirit by donating proceeds from his artwork to the Army's Kargil fund. His educational journey includes receiving prestigious honours and graduating in law.
Beyond politics, he has a passion for Carnatic music and runs an NGO focusing on education. Surya's political career burgeoned through his active involvement with organizations like ABVP and BJP, where he played pivotal roles in various campaigns and rallies. In the 2019 elections, despite initial opposition, Surya secured a landslide victory, becoming the youngest BJP MP. Throughout his tenure, he has vocally advocated for various issues in Parliament, including language requirements in banking, the NRC, and safeguarding cultural heritage. However, his tenure has not been without controversy, with his statements on social and political matters drawing both support and criticism. As he gears up for the 2024 general elections, Surya remains a steadfast advocate of Hindutva, positioning himself as a vocal proponent of BJP's ideology while stirring debates on contentious issues such as citizenship and national identity.
