Continuing the attack on Chief Minister Siddaramaiah over the hijab ban, former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa on Sunday said that the Chief Minister had gone back on his statement after the BJP attacked him.
“We are not opposed to minorities. Mr. Siddaramaiah should stop sowing the seeds of hatred. It will also not help. Because we all opposed it, he has gone back on his statement,” Mr. Yediyurappa told presspersons in Davangere on Sunday.
Leader of the Opposition R. Ashok told presspersons in Bengaluru that the Congress was peddling communal politics by eulogising Tipu Sultan, who was communal and was opposed to Kannada.
