MP takes part in yoga session at blind school
During the interaction, Yaduveer commended the students for their commitment to learning and practising yoga and emphasised the need to scale inclusive approaches nationwide.
The MP also held discussions with Dr Ananthalakshmi V, CEO of EquiBeing Foundation, regarding the organisation's flagship initiative, EquiYog—a long-term programme that trains visually impaired children in adapted yoga techniques using verbal instructions, spatial awareness, and breath-based methods.
"Mysuru is known for its deep-rooted yoga tradition. It is time we expand this legacy by ensuring that children with disabilities are included in yoga," said Yaduveer.

Centre will extend support for development of Kodagu: Yaduveer
Madikeri: The Union govt will extend cooperation for the preservation of the environment and culture of Kodagu, Mysore MP said. He spoke after inaugurating the Kodagu Vision discussion programme. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Homestays, which provide an opportunity to experience the unique hospitality culture of Kodagu, are also helpful to the local economy. MP Yaduveer said that everyone should take care of preserving Kodagu in its original form by carefully preserving the Ain Mane culture found only in the district. The Kudlur Industrial Area in Kodagu will allocate substantial space for new industries. The suggestion was made to utilise this space for district development, while concerns of coffee entrepreneurs were presented to the assembly. G Chidvilas, while leading a discussion, advocated for increased domestic consumption of Kodagu-grown coffee. He suggested implementing coffee facilities in the Indian Army and requested basic amenities at Kodagu tourist spots. Regarding the railway ticket booking centre, he said it will be provided in the city. The authorities are looking for locations, he added. Kodagu District Chamber of Commerce president BR Nagendra Prasad voiced concern that the delay in the railway project that would benefit everyone has not yet been implemented. He brought to the attention of the MP the issue of there being no ESI Hospital in Kodagu district, which has a large number of workers. Yaduveer said that the survey work of the railway connection routes to the district was completed and the necessary 'land acquisition' process should be done for the implementation of the project. The delay in this work by the state govt is the reason why the railway project is not being implemented on time. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now If state govt carries out the land acquisition process, the centre will take necessary steps for railway connectivity. Similarly, necessary talks will be held with the centre's civil aviation minister for the establishment of an airport in the district, he said. He also said that attention will be paid to opening an ESI Hospital after the survey. Meanwhile, Yaduveer is completely opposed to the Glass Bridge project at Raja Seat in Madikeri. Red Cross president BK Ravindra Rai, Kodagu Resorts and Hotel Association general secretary Nasir, Kodagu Drug Dealers' Association president Ambekallu Jeevan, Kodagu Planters' Association president Nanda Belliappa and director KK Vishwanath, Kodagu District Home Stay Association president Monti Ganesh, former MLCs SG Medappa, MP Sunil Subramani, BJP district president Napanda Ravikallappa, former president Robin Devaiah, Coffee Board member Talur Kishore Kumar, municipal council members Umesh Subrahmani, Lead Bank district manager Nayak, BSNL officer Pradeep, Coffee Board officer Chandrashekar, Madikeri Chamber of Commerce president Santosh Anvekar, and director M Dhananjay were present.

Yaduveer dismisses claim that Tipu Sultan laid foundation for KRS dam
Mysuru: Mysuru MP Yaduveer Wadiyar dismissed minister HC Mahadevappa's claim that Mysuru ruler Tipu Sultan laid the foundation for the KRS dam , calling it "baseless" and "humorous." Yaduveer, who is the scion of the Mysuru royal family, stated there is no evidence supporting this, emphasising that historical records clearly document the dam's origins. "Everyone knows who built the KRS dam. During Tipu's rule, temples were demolished, and pregnant women were killed. We should not manipulate history," he told reporters. He accused politicians of manipulating history for electoral gains, urging them to present verified facts. Yaduveer also criticised Tipu's legacy, citing documented atrocities, and advised focusing on constructive work instead.

Comparing Siddaramaiah To Mysuru Maharaja Is Far-Fetched: Ex-Royal BJP MP
Bengaluru: In what has turned into a "royal" war of words, BJP MP and titular Maharaja of Mysuru, Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, has strongly objected to Yathindra Siddaramaiah's recent comparison of his father, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, to Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar, the revered former Maharaja of the Mysore Kingdom. "Apart from the funds allocated during Siddaramaiah's earlier tenure, Mysuru hasn't received significant funding. Our government has undertaken as much, if not more, development than during Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar's era," Mr Yathindra had earlier said. Responding to this statement, Mr Yaduveer told NDTV that the comparison was "completely far-fetched" and disconnected from reality. "Every politician will naturally engage in politics and attempt to consolidate power there's nothing unusual about that," Mr Yaduveer said. "But personally, I feel that comparing today's government to the era of Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar is simply unjustifiable. There's no comparison." He cited rising inflation, widespread price hikes, and a complete lack of fresh developmental activity as key indicators that the present government is falling short. "The Sadhana Samavesha itself was merely a repackaging of existing schemes, many of them belonging to the previous BJP government or the central government. Even in the 2025 Budget, the same trend continued," he said. Mr Yaduveer also highlighted the Rs 300 crore Mysuru Airport expansion project, asserting that it had already been sanctioned during the previous Basavaraj Bommai government, and accused the Congress administration of falsely claiming credit. Referring to his constituency, particularly rural Kodagu, he said no new road projects were being taken up and existing roads remained neglected. "The recent rains have only made the poor condition of the roads more visible. People are seeing for themselves the lack of any tangible development," he remarked.
