Tejasvi Surya, the current member of parliament representing Bangalore South, was reportedly asked to leave an election campaign event in Bengaluru. The victims of the multi-crore Guru Raghavendra Sahakara Bank Niyamitha scam, a cooperative bank located in Basavangudi, allegedly heckled the lawmaker.

Walked out with raging questions 

Images were released from the ceremony that showed Surya being led by his security detail out of the building. Surya was spotted disputing with a few investors who approached him and asked questions even as he was being carried away.

Guru Raghavendra scam! 

The investors who were impacted by the alleged scam at Guru Raghavendra Sahakara Bank Niyamitha were asking the BJP leader to explain why they had not received their money back sooner. On the microblogging platform X, formerly known as Twitter, the Karnataka Congress shared a video of the chaos during the meeting and wrote, "BJP's Tejasvi Surya has once again escaped from the crowd through the 'Emergency Exit Door.'" Tejasvi Surya has gone too far in his arrogance when it comes to attacking and mistreating voters during elections. Voters now have the opportunity to discipline him.

Surya's office states

In the meantime, a statement from Tejasvi Surya's office claims that a "few hooligans" dispatched by Congress started a disturbance during the meeting. To cause a commotion, the Congress brought a few hooligans to the gathering. During the meeting, one of them showed a movie to cause mayhem. The individual in the video is a member of Congress who attended the meeting with the intention of causing trouble, not even a depositor. According to a statement from Surya's office, "some even made video calls to Congress local leader Shankar Guha to share meeting details and receive further instructions on how to exacerbate the pandemonium.
