The BJP candidate for Mysuru Lok Sabha constituency Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar hit the campaign trail early on Tuesday and wooed morning walkers.
He visited Kukkarahalli lake in the heart of the city which is among the most popular spots for morning walkers and reached out to the public. Mr. Yaduveer was greeted by the public that included the student community besides many first-time voters, some of whom took selfies with him.
The lake attracts of hundreds of people on any given day and hence the BJP thought it fit to tap the catchment of young voters. Mr. Yaduveer discussed issues pertaining to Mysuru with a section of the people and his plans for them. He was accompanied by local BJP leaders including the city unit president L. Nagendra and others.
From Kukkarahalli lake, Mr. Yaduveer headed to Devaraja Market which is a major landmark in the city and comes to life at dawn with traders, vendors and workers getting ready for business of the sale of flowers and other traditional items. A section of them sought the blessings of Yaduveer whom they consider to be their ‘’maharaja’’, showered him with flower petals and garlands.
Incidentally, Mr. Yaduveer has thrown his weight behind the vendors of Devaraja Market who are left in the lurch with the local authorities deciding that market that is over 125 years old, would be pulled down to pave the way for a new structure. Mr. Yaduveer has batted for its conservation and this has been received well by the local traders apart from heritage conservationists.
Later in the day, he also interacted with members of different communities including Arya Vysya Samaja and other groups.
