Congress celebrating Jayantis of Sultans for vote bank politics: PM

Accusing the Congress of distorting history as part of a conspiracy to divide society, PM Narendra Modi on Sunday flayed the Siddaramaiah government in the southern state of Karnataka for celebrating the "Jayantis of Sultans" for the sake of "vote bank politics". Modi was apparently referring to the Siddaramaiah government's controversial decision to celebrate "Tipu Jayanti" every year on November 10. Here's more.

Jayantis
"Veera Madakari and Onake Obavva are forgotten"

Addressing an election rally in Chitradurga , the Prime Minister said, "Look at the Congress character....whose Jayanti needs to celebrated with respect, from whom we have to draw inspiration for generations to generations, they can't think about celebrating their Jayantis." "Veera Madakari and Onake Obavva are forgotten, but for the sake of vote bank politics they are into celebrating jayantis of Sultans," he said.

Onake Obavva
Onake Obavva was a Dalit woman

A Dalit woman, Onake Obavva was the legendary wife of a soldier in the army of Madakari Nayaka, the last ruler of Chitradurga. She is said to have fought single-handedly and killed with a pestle in 1779 by Hyder Ali's soldiers in her valiant effort to protect the fort where her husband was the guard of a watch tower.

Tipu Jayanti
Celebration of "Tipu Jayanti" is strongly opposed by BJP

The celebration of "Tipu Jayanti" is strongly opposed by BJP. The celebration has also triggered a sharp division in society with some hailing Tipu Sultan as a hero who died fighting the British, while others calling him a "fanatic" ruler. "By celebrating this Jayanti, Congress has insulted people of Karnataka and Chitradurga. They've played with sentiments and feelings of people of Chitradurga," Modi said.

Betrayal
Congress's betrayal towards this land could not be forgiven: Modi

"Congress by celebrating Jayanti of those who gave poison to Nayakas of Chitradurga by betrayal and those who killed the courageous lady Onake Obavva have insulted this land, you, and the history," Modi said, as he sought to connect with local historical sentiments. The way Congress had betrayed legacy and courage of sons and daughters of this land could not be forgiven, he said.
