Ballari, Nov 10: Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Anand Singh on Friday inaugurated the Tipu Jayanti event at Hosapete in Ballari district of central Karnataka.

"There has been a controversy over celebrating Tipu Jayanti. BJP, the party I represent, is against Tipu Jayanti. But, for me the people of my constituency matter the most," Singh said.

He said that no political party should divide society on communal lines. "Humanity is greater than all religions."

Addressing a press meet at Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru, Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly, Jagadish Shettar, said that BJP had been clearly opposing Tipu Jayanti celebrations. 

"But, some partymen have attended the event. We will consider it seriously and initiate stringent action against them,” he said.

This is a traitor, a turncoat to his culture, faith and party. Said, spoken and acted like a politician without character or morals.
