Tippu jayanti will go if BJP comes to power: Adityanath
Hosapete, May 9: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that Tippu Jayanti, which was introduced by Siddaramaiah government in Karnataka despite much opposition, would go if BJP came to power in the state.
Addressing the BJP rally in the town on Wednesday, Adityanath said that BJP Jayanti would be cancelled and Hanuma Jayanti, Krishna Devaraya Jayanti and Chhatrapati Shivaji Jayanti would be introduced if BJP came to power in Karnataka. In order to appease the Muslims, Siddaramaiah government has introduced Tippu Jayanti. But it has dropped Hanuma Jayanti, Krishna Devaraya Jayanti and Chhatrapati Shivaji Jayanti, he criticized.
Siddaramaiah government has not given any contribution to farmers due to which, more than 3500 farmers have committed suicide. But the Centre has introduced various programmes for the welfare of the farmers. The Congress government in the state has involved in corruption, sand mafia and other scandals. So, the development has become a nightmare. It has failed on all fronts including law and order situation, he alleged.
BJP candidate HR Gaviyappa, former MLC Mrutyunjay, party district president Channabasavana Gouda, leaders Rani Samyukta, Shashikala, Kishor Pattikonda, Katigi Ramakrishna and others were present.
Empty chairs welcome Adityanath
With an intension of pulling the heavy crowd, the organizers have made elaborate arrangements to welcome Adityanath. But the people were not turned out as expected. So, Adityanath spoke to empty chairs.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
