The BJP candidate for Mysuru Lok Sabha constituency Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar was first off the starting block to hit the campaign trail on Sunday even as the Congress which is his main rival, was yet to announce its candidate.
Mr. Yaduveer began his campaign from Kyatamaranahalli in N.R. Assembly segment and was accompanied by local office-bearers of the party besides senior leaders.
The BJP workers accorded a traditional welcome to Mr. Yaduveer near the Tent House Circle and ushered him to the nearby Huliyamma temple where prayers were conducted for his victory. The people of Kyatamaranahalli gathered on both the sides of the road to get a glimpse of Yaduveer as he greeted and walked past them.
