Belagavi: Rebel BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal launched a blistering attack on the Congress government over reports that it plans to revive Tipu Jayanti celebrations.Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the legislature session, Yatnal said.

Every single time the Congress has tried to ride on Tipu’s back that is, every time they have celebrated Tipu Jayanti the party has been wiped out.GoSriKi Women’s Viscose Straight Kurta Set with Pant & Dupatta | Bandhej Printed Suit Set | Ethnic Festive Dress

If they want to be finished this time as well, let them go ahead and restart Tipu Jayanti. Slamming it as “vote-bank politics,” he continued.

Congress now believes only the ‘Saabaru’ (Muslims) vote for them. They have forgotten that Hindus too voted for Congress leaders like Kashappanavar.Also Read: The storm of Yash’s ‘Toxic’ has begun! The blood-filled bathtub poster goes viral as just 100 days remain for release.

If they bring back Tipu Jayanti, it will be like ‘giraki hodedante’ (getting completely thrashed) the party will suffer a massive setback in the next election.

This move will provoke the anger of Hindus and cause irreparable damage to Congress. Yatnal predicted that the revival of the controversial celebration would prove politically suicidal for the ruling party.Also Read: Netflix to acquire Warner Bros.: A new challenge for Indian cinema theatres!
