BJP candidate for Mysuru-Kodagu Lok Sabha seat Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar said here on Thursday that his decision to enter politics was not an overnight development but he has been contemplating it for a year.
Speaking to media persons after coming to Mysuru following the announcement of his candidature as the BJP candidate for Mysuru on Wednesday, Mr. Yaduveer said he has been taking part in public activities in his individual capacity since the last 9 to 10 years. But he realised over a period of time that to bring about substantial changes in society through policies, one must enter politics, said Mr. Yaduveer.
In reply to a question, Mr.Yaduveer said having entered into the rough and tumble of politics, he was prepared to quit the AC comfort of the palace. ‘’Quitting AC comfort is not that difficult when you are entering public life. I see it not as an opportunity but a responsibility,’’ he said.
