Karnataka: BJP Yuva Morcha Secretary says he will take part in Tipu Jayanti celebrations
Bengaluru: In what came as a surprise to many, BJP Yuva Morcha Secretary Sharath Bachegowda, son of BJP MP Bachegowda on Friday added that he will celebrate Tipu Jayanti, a statement straightaway contradicting with his party’s stand over the issue.
BJP had been opposing the celebration of the Mysore ruler adding that he was a ‘religious bigot’ ever since the Siddaramaiah led Congress government decided to celebrate his Jayanti. BJP continued protesting against the celebration during the JD(s)-Congress coalition government in the state.
In a video that is going viral on social media, Sharath is seen saying that he will celebrate Tipu Jayanti in Bengaluru’s Thammarasanahalli. Political experts believe that there has arisen internal conflict of interest within the saffron party’s cadre over the issue.
Sharath was reportedly speaking at a religious program in Bengaluru when he made the statement, a local youth elated by the statement of Sharath is seen showering currency notes on Sharath.
