“People need not have to come to the palace looking for me as I will come out of the palace to addressing public grievances upon being elected as the MP,” said BJP candidate Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, who is the scion of the erstwhile Mysuru royal family.
“There are no special privileges for us now. We are in a democracy, and all are common. If elected, I will be like any other MP and represent the people of Mysore-Kodagu constituency. I shall be accessible, and shall also reach out to the people on different platforms. I will come out of the palace to listen to the people. I will have my office outside the palace,” said Mr Wadiyar, at a media interaction in Mysuru on March 18.
Sitting MP Pratap Simmha, who was denied the ticket, was sitting next to Mr. Wadiyar at the media conference.
