The prime sources of income growth, according to Surya’s affidavit, were investments in mutual funds and shares. Surya has invested Rs 1.99 crore in mutual funds and Rs 1.79 crore in shares.
He has three cases pending against him, two of which were filed during the recent BJP protest at Nagarathpete in Bengaluru in March. The two cases are booked under sections related to promoting enmity between classes, unlawful assembly and others. The third case was booked at Civil Lines Police Station, New Delhi, in March 2022 under various sections including voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant, after BJYM workers stormed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence.
While elections to the 28 Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka will be held in two phases, on April 26 and May 7, Bengaluru will vote in the first phase.

Karandlaje has four other complaints in her name, of which two are in connection with “inflammatory speech and scandalous allegations against particular state”. The complaints – one in Bengaluru and another at Madurai in Tamil Nadu – were filed following her controversial remarks in March where she alleged that the Rameshwaram Cafe bomber was trained in Tamil Nadu.
A complaint was also filed against Karandlaje in Kerala in 2020 for “alleged inflammatory speech” and another in 2021 for alleged defamation of Sowmya Reddy, who is the Congress candidate from Bangalore South in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
The total worth of Karandlaje’s movable assets is Rs 9.23 crore and immovable assets is Rs 4.65 crore, according to the affidavit.
