Days after being denied a BJP ticket from Bangalore South constituency, Tejaswini Ananth Kumar, wife of former BJP leader Ananth Kumar, has written a ‘broken heart’ poem on Twitter which has generated mixed reactions from party workers and her followers.
Broken clouds pour rain..
Broken soil sets as fields..
Broken crop yield seeds.. Broken seeds yield Plants..When we feel broken
let’s be assured Lord has a greater plans for our progress.Let’s learn to live in Peace

The party high command chose to field 28-year-old Tejasvi Surya from this constituency. The “shocking” decision hurt her and several BJP leaders in Bengaluru.
Incidentally, Tejaswini Ananth Kumar was appointed BJP state vice-president on April 2, hours before party president Amit Shah landed in the city to campaign for Tejasvi Surya. BJP’s Karnataka State president B.S. Yeddyurappa had taken to Twitter to congratulate Tejaswini but the latter chose not to react. However, she was seen present along with top leaders of the Karnataka BJP unit for the massive roadshow held by Amit Shah, later that evening.
However, the tweet which shows signs of deep disappointment and a sense of compromise has been received differently by several followers on the micro-blogging platform.
Most followers seem to sympathise with Tejaswini and were giving her moral support. “U r one of the persons in political field who have disproved my “negative opinion” on politicians. Yes, I’m now 100% convinced that we still hv many politicians with nobel intentions. And u r one amng them,” said one tweet.
Madam please accept my pranams 🙏🙏🙏

Some had a different kind of advice. . “You may be disappointed but don’t sulk over it. India needs young leaders. Please go & support Tejaswi & campaign for him. I am sure Ananthkumar would have wished the same. Fulfill his dream by extending unconditional support & take moral high ground. Best wishes!” a tweet mentioned.

Interestingly, a follower tweeted that he sees Tejaswini Ananthkumar as the Chief Minister in future. “I want you to be a CM not an MP or any other polotical portfolio.”
