BANGALORE: If all goes well, Veena S will be the first transgender in Karnataka to contest an election. Veena is all set to contest the election to the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) from Okalipuram ward (SC Woman Reserved).

Veena wanted to file her nomination papers on Friday but could not do so due to the delay in getting the caste certificate from tahsildar. "He has tried to avoid giving the certificate to me on one or the other pretext. Finally, he gave it to me when activists of Praja Rajakeeya Vedike gathered at the tahsildar's Office,'' says Veena.
