Mysuru: Under pressure from various quarters to invite scion of erstwhile royal family of Mysuru Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar for International Day of Yoga (IDY) being attended by Prime Minister
Narendra Modi on palace premises on Tuesday June 21, the District Administration has extended an invitation to former on Saturday June 18.
According to Mysuru – Kodagu MP Prathap Simha, the District Administration has officially invited Yaduveer for the main event. Earlier only five dignitaries including the Governor, Chief Minister, and Ayush Minister were permitted to do Yoga along with Modi on the main dais. Now, Yaduveer is also invited to perform on the main dais.
It may be recalled here that that a section of concerned citizens in Mysuru had launched a campaign on social media, trolling the organisers for keeping Wadiyars out of the main event. This had triggered an outrage online with most of the netizens venting their anguish against District Administration.
