Widow of late scion of Mysore royal family voices anguish over

Pramoda Devi Wodeyar, widow of the scion of Mysore royal family, Srikanta Datta Narasimharaja Wodeyar, today accused the successive governments since 1976 of troubling them over world famous Mysore palace and other royal properties.
Expressing anguish over problems faced by them regarding ownership of the palace, she said the onus is on her to create a conducive atmosphere for the successor.
"....There is this uncertain condition....; it is my duty to create a conducive atmosphere for the successor to continue without being hassled," Wodeyar told reporters here.
Visibly emotional while remembering her late husband she said "the successor who will come in the future should not undergo the troubles we faced; ....All successive governments that have come to power since 1976 have troubled us."

Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wodeyar, the last descendant of the Wodeyar dynasty, died of severe cardiac arrest at a private hospital in Bangalore on December 10, 2013.
Wodeyar, the only son of Jayachamarajendra Wodeyar, the last ruling Maharaja of Mysore, and his second wife, Maharani Tripura Sundari Ammani Avaru, succeeded his father as the head of his dynasty in September 1974.
He had remained the titular head of the erstwhile royalty during the famous Dasara festivities after succeeding as heir to his father in 1974.
Pramoda Devi is a distant cousin of Wodeyar and the couple have no children, so she will now have to adopt someone from the family and nominate him as the successor.
