After a political controversy erupted following an announcement by Karnataka Congress MLA Tanveer Sait promising the installation of a 100 feet Tipu Sultan’s statue in Srirangapatna, former chief minister of the state Siddaramaiah hit out at the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) saying that the party has been busy distorting the history around the 18th-century warrior. "Why can’t the statue of Tipu Sultan be built? Does he not deserve a statue? The BJP always distorts history. One should remember what they said about Narayan Guru, Ambedkar and others. They always twist and falsify facts," Siddaramaiah said on Saturday.
