Hubballi, Nov 9: Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday said that several BJP leaders in state were in touch with Congress leaders and were willing to join the party.

He was replying to queries of presspersons during a stopover at Hubballi Airport on the way to Bagalkot. He said that he was not ready to welcome politicians with RSS mindset to the Congress.

“We are ready to accommodate the BJP leaders. But we are checking whether they have a RSS background. We will not take BJP leaders with RSS background because such leaders are communal”, he said.

Tipu Jayanti

Lambasting the BJP leaders for trying to demonize Tipu Sultan for political gains, the Chief Minister described former BJP chief ministers Jagadish Shettar, D V Sadananda Gowda and B.S. Yeddyurappa as ‘double tongued’.

“Previously Jagadish Shettar and Yeddyurappa have praised Tipu Sultan and taken part in the birth anniversary celebrations, and posed for photographs wearing the Tipu turban. As Chief Minister, Mr Jagadish Shettar has written the foreword for a book on Tipu Sultan, and now BJP leaders are opposing it for political reasons. They don’t have any moral right to oppose the birth anniversary. Sadananda Gowda too had vociferously praised Tipu”, he recalled.
