Bengaluru: BJP state vice president Tejaswini Ananth Kumar on Saturday, April 6 mentioned a word of praise for Nikhil Kumaraswamy, JD(S) candidate from Mandya while expressing her concerns towards environmental protection.

Referring to a video of Nikhil, which was recently aired on Kannada television channels wherein he can be seen drinking tender coconut water without using a straw, Tejaswini urged others to take a lesson from him.
