The ongoing political drama in Maharashtra took a new turn as Congress leader Sachin Sawant accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of employing double standards and fostering a polarisation agenda.
Sawant highlighted instances where BJP leaders had previously supported Tipu Sultan, a historical figure, arguing the shift in stance is politically motivated. These include proposals and endorsements in civic bodies and by prominent party members over the years.
The debate over Tipu Sultan's legacy has escalated, with the BJP now portraying him negatively to create religious divides, a claim staunchly opposed by Congress, who suggests this stems from a bid for voter polarisation.
