Harshavardhan B.

B. Harshavardhan is an Indian politician from Karnataka associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party. He is known for his political association with the Nanjangud constituency in Mysuru district, which is reserved for the Scheduled Castes.

He entered active politics around the late 2010s and was associated with the BJP’s organisational structure in Karnataka. Notably, he was appointed as a state-level office bearer in the party’s youth wing, marking his formal political entry and growing role within the organisation.

In the 2018 Karnataka Legislative Assembly elections, he was elected as MLA from Nanjangud, marking his first major electoral success. His tenure represented the BJP in a constituency that has traditionally seen competitive contests.

During his term in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly (2018–2023), he was involved in legislative proceedings and constituency-level governance. His political career reflects a mix of organisational work and electoral participation within the state’s political landscape.

In the 2023 Karnataka Assembly elections, he contested again from Nanjangud but lost to Darshan Dhruvanarayana of the Indian National Congress, marking a setback in his electoral journey.

As of 2026, he continues to be active in Karnataka politics, maintaining his engagement in party activities, constituency-level interactions, and broader political affairs.
