The BJP leaders launched a fresh round of tirade against the Congress, after MLC B. K. Hariprasad’s remarks that “those who term us (the Congress) as Tipu Sultan’s followers were bootlickers of the British” ruffled their feathers.
“When the Congress leaders were involved in the freedom movement, those in the RSS had accepted their rule and were subservient to the British,” Mr. Hariprasad told presspersons in Hubballi.
