Mysore/Mysuru, Aug. 5 -- Former MP Prathap Simha slams Dr. Mahadevapppa, questions why such hatred towards Nalwadi

Former MP Prathap Simha has hit back at District Minister Dr. H.C. Mahadevapppa, remarking, "Go ahead and claim that even Dasara was started by Tipu Sultan - people of Mysuru will be truly enlightened!"

Responding to Dr. Mahadevapppa's recent statement that Tipu Sultan laid the foundation stone for the KRS Dam, Simha highlighted a recurring trend. "Last week, Dr. Yathindra Siddaramaiah claimed his father, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, was greater than Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar. This week, Dr. Mahadevapppa says Tipu laid the foundation for the Kannambadi Katte, which Nalwadi built by pledging his family's jewellery."
