Bengaluru, Apr 3: The BJP has appointed Tejaswini Ananth Kumar as the state vice-president of the party days after she missed Lok Sabha ticket.
BJP president B S Yeddyurappa tweeted on Tuesday about the appointment. "I am very delighted to announce that Smt. @Tej_AnanthKumar has been appointed as state vice president of @BJP4Karnataka. Wishing her all the very best," he tweeted.
Tejaswini was the frontrunner for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls from Bengaluru South constituency. However, ticket was denied to her at the last moment and the BJP fielded party youth leader Tejasvi Surya from her late husband's constituency.
However, the denial of ticket received calm reaction from her.
