Indian Railways has changed the name of Bangalore-Mysore Tipu Express as Wodeyar Express. In fact, BJP MP Pratap Simha had written a letter to the Ministry of Railways regarding changing the name of the train. The Railway Ministry has also issued a letter to change the name of this train. However, now politics has started on this matter.
Attacking BJP, AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi said, 'BJP will never be able to erase Tipu's legacy.' With this, Asaduddin Owaisi has tweeted about changing the name of the train. You can see that he has said in his tweet, 'BJP government has changed the name of Tipu Express to Wodeyar Express. Tipu has troubled the BJP because Tipu had waged 3 wars against the British Empire. Any other train could have been named after Wodeyar Express. BJP will never be able to erase Tipu's legacy.'
In fact, Congress has accused BJP of doing communal politics regarding this matter. Mansoor Khan, the co-chairman of the Karnataka Congress Communications Wing, has named this decision as communal politics. Yes, and he has also tweeted saying, 'Why Tipu Express was renamed as Wodeyar Express. This train has been running on this route for 42 years and no one had any objection about its name. What is the use of this name? Does it help the public in any way? This is communal politics.'
At the same time, the descendants of Tipu Sultan are also looking angry with this decision of the Railways. In fact, former Chief Minister of Karnataka Siddaramaiah opposed this decision of Railways and said, 'BJP is doing the work of dissolving poison in the country's politics.' He says that 'BJP's job is to dissolve poison, they could have renamed some other train after Wodeyar.'
