Double standards: Congress hits out at BJP after Sapkal faces flak on Shivaji–Tipu Sultan remark

Sachin Sawant, Congress leader, accused the BJP of hypocrisy regarding their opposition to a portrait of Tipu Sultan. He cited past instances where BJP leaders had praised or supported the historical figure, including resolutions in civic bodies and statements by former leaders like B.S. Yediyurappa. Sawant argued that the current criticism is politically motivated and part of a strategy to create religious divisions.
