Exclusive: Don't Agree With Tipu-Savarkar Narrative, Says BS Yediyurappa
The BJP's Karnataka stalwart BS Yediyurappa has said he won't go back on his decision to quit electoral politics ahead of the closely watched state elections later this year, adding that the move was entirely his call, and he was not forced.
"I told people of Karnataka, I'm not retiring from politics. I am not tired, I will campaign and bring BJP to power. I will tour the state. BJP will get an absolute majority... Quitting electoral politics was my decision, nobody forced me. I will convince people why I took this decision," he said in an exclusive interview with NDTV.
"I don't agree with the narrative on Tipu vs Savarkar. It's not Tipu vs Savarkar, but BJP's policies and schemes will be the narrative," he said.
