Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa has ordered the cancellation of Tipu Jayanti across the state. Just last year, the then Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy had declared Nov 10 will be celebrated as Tipu Jayanti, in honour of the Mysuru king who ruled in the 18th century. Even then Yediyurappa had opposed the move saying that Tipu Sultan is anti-Kannada and anti-Hindu.
