New Delhi, October 09, 2022 (PPI-OT):A popular train between Bengaluru and Mysore ‘Tippu Express’ has been renamed as the ‘Wodeyar Express’ by the Indian railway ministry. The move has drawn criticism from Muslim community as many deem the move another attempt by the Hindutva regime to undermine Tippu Sultan.

Sharing an image of Tippu Sultan, the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Chief Asaduddin Owaisi said,” Tipu irks Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) because he waged three wars against its British masters. Another train could have been named after Wodeyar. BJP will never be able to erase Tipu’s legacy. He scared British while alive and scares British slaves even now”. Tippu Sultan who goes by the name “Tiger of Mysore” is famous for fighting the British in the 18th century.
