The daughter of Karnataka deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar, Aisshwarya DKS Hegde, supported her uncle, Congress MP DK Suresh.

Aisshwarya DKS Hegde, daughter of Karnataka’s deputy chief minister, DK Shivakumar, has stated that she has no plans to enter politics. Aisshwarya DKS Hegde stated after voting in Bengaluru, “I have no intentions of entering politics.” I am an educator who is content with my profession. Everyone must work in several professions to make India proud, and I am now working in one.

In addition, Aisshwarya DKS Hegde supported her uncle, Congress MP DK Suresh, who is running for the Bangalore Rural parliamentary seat. The lone Congress member from Karnataka is DK Suresh. With 25 out of 28 seats won by the BJP in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the party won handily.

After voting, Aisshwarya DKS Hegde stated, “It is about the country now. Individual growth is dependent on the country’s growth. I’m not sure about Congress (in the Lok Sabha elections), but I am certain that I would celebrate with my uncle on June 4.”

In 2021, Aisshwarya married Amartya Hegde, the grandson of BJP leader SM Krishna and son of late Cafe Coffee Day founder VG Siddhartha.

As voting for the second round of Lok Sabha began on Friday, DK Shivakumar urged first-time voters to “go for a change” because the BJP has been in power at the Centre for a decade, and to give his party, the Congress, a chance.

“Karnataka will vote; the state has produced excellent results, and the people are overjoyed since we have delivered on all we promised in previous elections. Women are crossing party lines to support us, and I applaud them all. For first-time voters—the young of this country—I must say that Congress has put up an excellent manifesto. You have to make a change because it is necessary; you have provided ten years, so let us go for it,” DK Shivakumar stated.

He further said that the Congress will win 20 seats in the state this time.

Earlier on Friday, Tejasvi Surya, a Bharatiya Janata Party candidate from Bengaluru South, voted in Bengaluru and predicted that the Congress would not win more than 30 seats in the Lok Sabha elections.

On Friday, Karnataka will vote on 14 Lok Sabha seats in the second phase of the elections.

The second phase includes 88 Lok Sabha constituencies spread across 13 states/union territories, including 13 in Rajasthan, 20 in Kerala, eight in Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, five in Assam and Bihar, six in Madhya Pradesh, three in Chhattisgarh and West Bengal, and one each in Tripura, Manipur, and Jammu and Kashmir.
