BENGALURU: Yaduveer Krishnaraja Datta Wadiyar, the titular head of the erstwhile Mysuru royal family and BJP candidate for Mysore Lok Sabha seat, does not own a house, land, or even a vehicle, according to the affidavit he filed with the Election Commission of India Monday.

In the affidavit, 'yuvaraja' Yaduveer declared assets worth Rs 9 crore - primarily comprising shareholdings and other valuables - with no immovable property or vehicle registered in his name. His wife Trishika Kumari Wadiyar and the couple's son Aadyaveer own assets worth Rs 1 crore and Rs 3.6 crore, respectively, the affidavit stated. Yaduveer owns gold and silver worth Rs 3.4 crore, while Trishika possesses precious metals worth Rs 1 crore. The couple hold directorial roles in several companies, including Little Buntings Private Limited and the Bherunda Foundation.

Yaduveer, 32, is locked in a direct fight with Congress candidate M Lakshmana, who is also the party's spokesperson in Karnataka.

In stark contrast to Yaduveer, Mandya Congress candidate Venkatramne Gowda, aka Star Chandru, has disclosed assets worth a staggering Rs 622 crore, that predominantly consist of extensive land holdings.

PC Mohan, incumbent BJP Bangalore Central MP who is seeking re-election from the seat has reported assets worth Rs 66.4 crore, along with liabilities of Rs 15.8 crore.

NDA 1 renamed Allahabad . Many objections were raised all of which said the same in different words and styles about the naming of a place or community : Every country has an origin. An early settler arrives and builds a house for himself where the land is fertile . He tills the land to grow food for his family. Seeing that early settler thrive, others arrive and thus a Community takes shape.People of the Community GATHER TO GIVE A NAME TO THE COMMUNITY. To cite an Indian example , when my Father- and Mother-in -Law purchased a piece of land from the local Government of Nagpur, the area resembled more a Jungle than a habitat, but it had a name : RAMNAGAR, because a small Temple for Rama stood there. That name Ramnagar stayed, as trees were cut down to make room for later arrivals . The Ram Temple has grown into a magnificent structure big enough for me to sit inside in solitude and calm my nerves. Years later Tamils in Ramnagar built a temple which housed all Tamil Gods. The Temple was named Sarveswara Temple BUT THE COMMUNITY is known as Ramnagar. When Allahabad was renamed , savants argued that Allhahabad was not Allahabad , it was ELAHABAD (or ILLAHABAD) the ABODE OF ALL GODS , like Nagpur’s Sarweswara.Temple, which was the name EARLY SETTLERS in that commune had DECIDED FOR THE NEW COMMUNITY THEY HAD FORMED. With common usage ELAHABAD (or ILLAHABAD) became corrupted to Allahabad - the Abode of Allah alone If Government had taken the trouble to read old records, proof might have been found but it suited the Government not to dig up the past.The Indian Government ignored the tenable plea of Elahabadis. The Indian Government will be the Elahabadi when it meets the Chinese Government Good luck
