Bengaluru: Leader of Opposition and Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Friday, December 6 criticizing Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa’s decision to not to celebrate Tipu Jayanti in the state said that the BJP leader was acting against only one community.

Addressing a gathering at Hosur village, Siddaramaiah said, “CM Yediyurappa has a hatred for Muslims. I don’t know why he hates that religion. I have started Tipu Jayanti as I started Kanakadasa Jayanthi and Kempegowda Jayanthi. Tipu was a king like other kings and he has fought four battles against the British. Why Yediyurappa hates only one community, it shows their communalism.”

He further questioned, “When I was the Chief Minister, I launched many Bhagya schemes. What did he do? People need to be smart. I don’t know why people vote for them!”
