The need for renaming of Tipu Expressn, which plies between Mysuru and Bengaluru, as Wodeyar Express was questioned by many in Mysuru on Saturday.
While JD(S) leader K.V. Mallesh said the removal Tipu’s name from the train by the BJP “in an effort to isolate the Muslim community” tantamounts to showing disrespect to the erstwhile royal family of Mysuru, whose ancestors had strived to establish equality among different communitiies in the society.
