Mysuru, Karnataka – The rich legacy of Mysuru’s royal lineage continues to inspire pride and admiration. In a recent statement, Member of Parliament Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar emphasized that every Maharaja who ruled the Mysuru kingdom has played a pivotal role in shaping its development. His remarks came in response to comments made by Yathindra Siddaramaiah, son of the Chief Minister.
A Golden Era of Visionary Leadership Yaduveer paid tribute to Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar, calling him a “Rajarshi” whose visionary governance ushered in a golden era for Mysuru. “His contributions are not just historical—they are living legacies that continue to benefit us today,” he said.
Under Nalwadi’s leadership, Mysuru became a beacon of progress, admired globally for its infrastructure, education, and public welfare systems. His reign is remembered as a time when the region flourished without scarcity, thanks to his far-sighted administration.
A Democratic Verdict in 2018 Responding to Yathindra Siddaramaiah’s recent remarks, Yaduveer pointed out that Siddaramaiah, despite serving two terms as Chief Minister, was evaluated by the people of Mysuru in the 2018 elections. The voters of Chamundeshwari constituency delivered a clear message, reflecting their judgment on his developmental efforts.
Respecting Legacy Over Rhetoric Yaduveer urged that the achievements of great leaders should be respected and remembered, not politicized or compared for short-term gains. “Being the Chief Minister’s son does not give one the liberty to make unfounded statements,” he said, calling Yathindra’s comments “far from the truth.”
He warned against using political narratives to undermine the contributions of Mysuru’s royal heritage. “Such attempts will never bear fruit and do not honor the dignity of democratic institutions or the office of the Chief Minister,” he added.
Seeds of Growth, Roots of Pride Every Maharaja of Mysuru has sown seeds of development that have grown into strong trees—offering shelter, strength, and pride to generations. These contributions should be celebrated, not attacked for political convenience.
“The legacy of Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar is immortal in the hearts of Kannadigas. Let us honor such greatness with gratitude, not with comparisons,” Yaduveer concluded.
