Yeddiyurappa distances himself from Nalin Kumar Kateel's "Tippu vs Savarkar" remark
Former Karnataka Chief Minister and senior BJP leader BS Yeddiyurappa on Monday distanced himself from party's state chief Nalin Kumar Kateel's statement asserting the upcoming assembly elections in the state will be a "Savarkar vs Tippu battle".
In an interview to NDTV, Yeddiyurappa urged the party leaders to work tirelessly for the securing victory in the coming elections.
When asked if the party had shifted from development projects to issues like Tipu and Savarkar, the BJP leader said, "I don't agree with the narrative on Tipu vs Savarkar. It's not Tipu vs Savarkar, but BJP's policies and schemes that will be the narrative."
He, however, added that, while the Congress was trying its level-best to defeat the BJP, he was confident of the BJP getting absolute majority, because of PM Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
He further added that the BJP was not affected by either the Congress or the JD(S).
Asked about the narrative of his choice for the BJP, the leader said that the party should adopt ‘work hard’ as the mantra for the elections this year. The party workers should strive to spread awareness among the people regarding the popular schemes delivered by the BJP government in Karnataka, he said.
