BJP - Karnataka politics - Lok Sabha elections - Pratap Simha - Yaduveer Wadiyar

Find out the juicy details of the BJP MP drama in Mysuru!

In a twist of events, BJP MP Pratap Simha from Mysuru has made headlines by conceding his seat amidst a flurry of controversies. Reports suggest that the saffron party has been eyeing Mysuru royal family scion Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar as a potential candidate, leading to speculations and unrest among supporters. The drama escalated further when protesters used Simha's visitor passes during a security breach in Parliament, causing a stir among party members.

The situation took a surprising turn when Pratap Simha's supporters held demonstrations demanding his re-inclusion as the BJP candidate for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Amidst rumors of missing out on the ticket, Simha questioned his worth without Modi's support, reflecting the internal turmoil within the BJP camp in Mysuru-Kodagu. The unfolding drama reached new heights when Simha took a dig at the Mysuru royal family, resulting in a summon by the BJP, adding more fuel to the already heated situation.

In a final twist, Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, from the Mysore royal family, was announced as the BJP candidate, replacing Pratap Simha for the Mysuru seat. This move solidified the party's stance and showcased the power dynamics at play behind the scenes. With the stage set for the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP's decision has stirred up a storm of reactions and speculations, leaving the political landscape in Mysuru-Kodagu in a state of unrest.
