Mysuru: Predicting ruling Congress party’s doom in the next assembly elections, Kodagu-Mysuru Member of Parliament has said Karnataka would celebrate Wadiyar Jayanti from next year onwards and would replace Tipu Jayanti.
BJP leader Pratap Simha speaking here said contribution of Mysuru Royal Family to the state and nation is immense. Therefore present Tipu Jayanti will be the last Jayanti in the history of the state, Pratap Simha added.
Downplaying Tipu’s contribution, Pratap Simha said he had managed to get just name and fame only.
State is witnessing fierce battle between the ruling Congress and BJP over the event with ruling Congress hellbent on the celebrations on November 10, whereas opposition BJP is doing everything to scuttle state government’s plans.
