OMG OMG!!! I can't believe this.
PM of world's largest democracy & President of largest political party have reposed faith in a 28 yr old guy to represent them in a constituency as prestigious as B'lore South. This can happen only in my BJP. Only in #NewIndia of @narendramodi

I am humbled. Grateful. Overwhelmed. I thank PM @narendramodi for giving me this opportunity. I can't thank you enough, Modi Ji. I promise you that I shall work ceaselessly for our motherland till my last breath. That is the only way I can repay this debt of gratitude. THANK YOU!

My hands are trembling as I type this. Last year, I had opportunity to talk to our Hon'ble President @AmitShah Ji. The one hour conversation with him left me so motivated that I couldn't sleep for a week. His determination, conviction to ideology is infectious. Thank you!

Ananthkumar Ji. My first guru in public life. He has seen me grow up since my high school days. I have learnt so much seeing him, talking to him and just seeing him at work. He is one of the tallest leaders of Karnataka ever. I am eternally grateful to him.

Ananthkumar Ji & @Tej_AnanthKumar ma'am have groomed me from my high school days. I had pestered Tejaswini maam to send me on Jan Chetna Yatra along with AK Ji. She somehow convinced Sir to take me along. I saw my first Bharat Darshan. You both have made me the man I am today.

I can't thank enough RSS and its selfless leaders for showering their choicest blessings on me. You have excused my mistakes, tolerated my mischief, supported me in every possible way. I can't believe that men like @MUKUNDAckpura & @blsanthosh exist in real. I want to be like you

I know that you all have bestowed me with this opportunity with lot of hope in my potential to serve our cause and country. What I have done till now to deserve this is less. What you expect of me is immense. This burden is heavy, but I am confident that I will carry it ably.

Ananthkumar Ji was truly the maker of modern Bengaluru. Int'l airport, metro, Kaveri 4th phase, suburban rail and so much more he gave for this city. With all your blessings, I intend to take our city to newer heights. Bengaluru deserves to be one of the best global metropolis.

I have a hundred ideas brimming in my mind for our city and country. People of Bengaluru, let's take our great city to newer heights. I need your support & blessings. Its a long road ahead, let us all walk together. Let's make Bengaluru AWESOME! :)

Friends, I HAVE to thank my dear brother @mepratap. He has played such an incredible role in my life. Egging me on to write columns, encouraging me to appear on TV, scolding me, laughing with me, hurting me so that I see the world for real, you have been there bro! I love you :)

There are just so many people to be grateful to. I am just overwhelmed. Man, this is so surreal. I am trying to let this sink in. THANK YOU everyone for everything you have done in my life. I am just immensely grateful.

ABVP. Organisation where I first learnt ABCD of organisation work. Raghunandan Ji, Ravi Kumar @nrkbjp Ji, Nagaraj Reddy Ji, Ravi Chandra Ji, Vinay Bidre Ji, Kitty Ji, Swamy Ji, Tammesh Gowda, Vasant, Santhosh Reddy and so many more - I am so grateful to you all. Need your support

Appa and Amma. I won't be here without you. Appa, you are my hero. You have so painstakingly made me what I am. Your honesty & integrity are lessons for life. Amma, thank you for everything.

I love you both so much. I hope you will be proud of me.

Okay! Sleep is not coming. So much excitement. So much adrenaline rush. So many hopes for the future. So much of work to do. One life time is not enough. If Modi can work for 20 hours a day at 68, we must be able to do more at 28!

Yeah. Nomination tomorrow. See you all tomorrow
