Tejasvi Surya Detained in Bengaluru Metro Fare Protest, Vows 'Won't Silence Me'

• BJP MP Tejasvi Surya was briefly detained near Jayanagar Metro Station for protesting against the proposed Namma Metro fare hike.
• Surya had received a police notice for a previous demonstration but returned with party workers, using empty trunks to symbolize the state's alleged weak finances.
• He criticized the Karnataka government for detaining protesters instead of addressing infrastructure and public transport costs, demanding affordable transport.
• After release, Surya asserted on X that his arrest wouldn't silence him, accusing the Congress government of targeting him for exposing the state's poor financial health.
• The BMRCL put the proposed fare revision on hold, with Surya claiming Union government pressure, while other leaders debated responsibility for the hike.
