Bengaluru: The BBMP on Monday rejected the newly elected Member of Parliament from the Bharatiya Janata Party for the Bengaluru South Lok Sabha constituency, Tejasvi Surya’s request to grant him an office in a complex located in front of Shalini Grounds citing that it lay in the centre of the Bengaluru South Lok Sabha constituency.

As per the sources, Tejasvi Surya has refused to take over the office of Late Ananth Kumar who was MP from the same constituency and had written a letter to the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), stating that he would not use Ananth Kumar’s office located in Jayanagar 2nd Block which had been allotted to him.

BBMP Commissioner Manjunath has refused to consider the request stating that it was not the duty of the corporation but the state government.

He further clarified that the BBMP had decided to open an office in the same complex but there were several cases against it.
