I don't know this guy in person but I have seen his videos on youtube and he seems really concerned. He did say he chose Jayanagar because of the large number of intellecutals which is true ( I know a lot of people who stay there and most of them are well educated, holding good positions) and a valid point because for one he can better relate to them and their problems instead of a rural area where he probably has never been. And dont you think that contesting the elctions and winning it is the most effective way to change the society if you really really want to. You will know if you lived in Hanumantanagar,B'lore where there were amazing changes because of the elected representative.Maybe we should stop being cynical of everybody and do believe that there is something good thats happening.
