Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Nikhil Kumarswamy is the son of former Karnataka Chief Minister H. D. Kumaraswamy[4] and grandson of former Indian Prime Minister H. D. Deve Gowda.[2][3]

On 10 February 2020, Nikhil was engaged to Revathi, the grand-niece of Congress leader and realtor M. Krishnappa at the Taj West End Bangalore.[5][6] The wedding took place on 17 April 2020[7] near Janapada Loka in Ramanagara.[8] The couple has a son.[9]

Political career

[edit | edit source]

Nikhil ran in the 2019 Indian general election in Karnataka from the Mandya Lok Sabha constituency, as a Janata Dal (Secular) candidate.[10] Mandya was considered a safe bastion for the erstwhile Congress-JDS alliance as historically, Indian National Congress was the most successful party, followed by Janata Dal (Secular) to contest in the district.[11][12] He lost in the elections to Sumalatha, who was married to the late Kannada veteran Ambareesh, by a margin of 128,876 votes.[10]

He contested in the 2023 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election, from Ramanagara where his father H. D. Kumaraswamy, mother Anitha and grandfather H. D. Devegowda had previously represented. In spite of all these he conceded defeat against Iqbal Hussain from Congress by a margin of 11,000 votes.[13]

He contested in the bypolls held in Channapatna in November 2024. This assembly seat was vacant after his father H. D. Kumaraswamy, who was elected to the Karnataka Legislative Assembly in the 2023 State Assembly Elections, went on to contest the 2024 General Elections from Mandya and was victorious in the same. Nikhil conceded defeat to C. P. Yogeshwara, candidate of the Indian National Congress party.[14]
