Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar intensifies BJP campaign in Kodagu, focusing on development and public welfare projects.
The BJP on Sunday stepped up its campaign in Kodagu – a part of the Mysuru Lok Sabha constituency - with Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar camping there for two days.
About 25 to 30 events including corner meetings, interaction with the rank and file of BJP, and approaching the public have been lined up spread over two days from Sunday.
On Sunday Yaduveer had 16 meetings covering Ponnampet, Hudikeri, Birunani, T. Shettigeri, Srimangala, Kutta, Balale, Tithimathi, Gonnikoppal, etc., and Yaduveer interacted with people at public places including bus stands, temples etc.
On Monday, more than a dozen meetings have been lined up including visiting senior BJP leaders of the district like Appacchu Ranjan, former MLA, Jeevijaya, former Minister, leaders of the Vokkaliga samaja, etc., and there is a public meeting at Somwarpete at 11.30 a.m.
Kodagu for long was BJP’s citadel and it was breached by the Congress in 2023 Assembly elections when it reclaimed both the Virajpet and Madikeri assembly seats. But there is a strong support base for the BJP in the district whose demography and caste equations are different compared to Mysuru, and hence the renewed focus on Kodagu.
Yaduveer’s Kodagu visit was preceded by a whirlwind visit of educational institutions in Mysuru on Friday while on Saturday he visited a slew of temples and held corner meetings.
The crux of Yaduveer’s speeches and short talks in Mysuru or Kodagu revolves around Viksit Bharat or Developed India by 2047 as envisaged by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Besides, the contribution of the Wadiyars to the development of the princely State of Mysuru continues to be recalled to underline that the public welfare projects continue to serve the society at large even today, be it the KRS dam, K.R. Hospital, slew of educational institutions, introduction of reservation in jobs, city planning through CITB or City Improvement Trust Board which is now MUDA, establishment of the University of Mysore and other public institutions.
