Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa junks Tipu event, reverses Congress move

Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Tuesday cancelled celebrations of Tipu Jayanti as a state event, reversing a decision taken by the Siddaramaiah government. BJP and right-wingers had strongly opposed the move to celebrate Tipu’s birth anniversary, calling the erstwhile sultan of Mysore as a “religious bigot”.
