Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], April 4 : Union Minister Anurag Thakur on Thursday praised Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Tejasvi Surya in Bengaluru and said that if someone has earned the respect of being the National President of the youth wing of the largest party in the world, it is Tejasvi Surya.
