Belagavi, Nov 11: Taking a dig at the BJP, MLA Laxmi Hebbalkar on Saturday said that those opposing Tipu Jayanti are the ones who lauded him in the past when they needed votes.
She was speaking after inaugurating the Tipu Jayanti celebration organized by the district administration here on Saturday. The Belagavi (Rural) MLA said that Tipu pledged his children to safeguard the kingdom from British and protected Sringeri Mutt from enemies. “One should not play politics in such issues,” she stated.
Yamakanamaradi MLA Satish Jarkiholi, said that Tipu respected Kannada and the language developed in the Mysuru region under his rule. “His contributions in making Karnataka famous in silk production are unparalleled,” he said.
Jarkiholi said some leaders are spreading lies that Tipu killed 50,000 Kodavas when the community’s population was less. “Tipu was a great king with innovative mindset and courage,” he said.
