Tipu Vs APJ Tipu garners vote for Congress; who will JDS-Congress govt pick

Former Chief Minister B. S. Yeddyurappa has now demanded that the Haj house in Bengaluru be named after APJ Abdul Kalam and not Tipu Sultan. This comes days after minority welfare and Wakf Minister of Karnataka Zameer Ahmad raised the issue of re-naming of the state Haj house as Tipu Sultan Haj Ghar. This led to the BJP attacking Zameer Ahmad. The BJP state unit said it would launch a statewide protest against the proposal.
