Tejasvi Surya earns praise with his opening speech in Parliament.
BJP's dynamic youth leader Tejasvi Surya on Tuesday gave his first speech in Lok Sabha. Speaking to support the motion of thanks for President's speech, Tejasvi Surya spoke passionately about how India has changed in the last five years. According to him, while the constraints and challenges are same, PM Narendra Modi has been the harbinger of change who is the key differentiator between the past era and current regime.
Surya also applauded Bharatiya Janata Party for giving a 28-year-old ticket. According to Bangalore South MP, the foundation of this democratic ethos is the fact that a chaiwallah has rose to the top and become PM not only once but twice. During his speech, Tejasvi Surya also highlighted the key reforms done by Modi 1.0 government and said that many things are in pipeline in the next five years.
Tejasvi who replaced deceased Ananth Kumar from Bangalore South won by a massive mandate and is already been earmarked as the one to watch out for in the future. Even before he got nomination, Tejasvi's passionate videos speaking for BJP or advocating some issue or cause had created ripples among netizens. He enjoys a passionate fan base which is only increasing post his election to the 17th Lok Sabha,
