Deccan ChronicleBENGALURU: The entry of scion of Mysore Royal family Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar as Bharatiya Janata Party nominee to contest Mysuru-Kodagu parliamentary seat in the ensuing Lok Sabha polls would be beneficial for the party nominees in about 7 seats, observed former Chief Minister B.S, Yediyurappa. The contest of Yaduveer from Mysuru-Kodagu would help BJP in achieving its target of 25 seats in the Lok Sabha polls in Karnataka, said Yediyurappa while stating that all leaders who missed out on re-nomination in the ensuing Lok Sabha polls have been convinced by the party leaders and have assured their support for the party nominees in the polls. Reacting to the contest of Yaduveer from Mysuru-Kodagu seat, Congress leader and Minister for Transport Ramalinga Reddy observed that Yaduveer has been made the nominee since BJP is facing dearth of leaders to fight the Lok Sabha election from Mysuru-Kodagu parliamentary seat. According to Reddy, there were many leaders in BJP such as former minister S.A. Ramadas among others who have strived to build the party in Mysuru for about 30 years and anyone could have been picked to contest from Mysuru-Kodagu seat in the ensuing polls.
