Tejaswini, who is contesting on a Congress ticket, had high hopes because she had defeated H D Deve Gowda in the past and felt that she had some reputation as a giant killer.
However, H D Deve Gowda's son H D Kumaraswamy has won in Bangalore Rural, and because of this Tejaswini has gone into hiding.
She has turned off her phone and has not visited the counting centre. She is also not at home.
