On Thursday, December 21, Yogi Adityanath was in Hubballi for a BJP rally and made a statement on the state government celebrating Tipu Jayanti.
"It's unfortunate that the Congress worships a despotic Muslim ruler like Tipu Sultan than Hindu deity Hanuman, who hailed from Karnataka and served Lord Ram," asserted Adityanath in his address to about one lac people who gathered to mark the second leg of the party's 90-day statewide rally in the run-up to the assembly poll in April 2018.
“The Congress is insulting our rich tradition. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah should have respected the feelings of the people while making statements about beef consumption. With continuous murder and poor law and order situation, 'Rakshak' has become 'Bhakshak' here, and anarchy is prevailing," Yogi had added in his speech.
