The JD(S) was not at all interested in Tipu Jayanti. They fear that celebrating Tipu can be bad for them. "Gowda family is a firm believer in fate and ancient beliefs. Supporters of this belief cite the ‘examples’ of actor Sanjay Khan, who almost lost his life during the shooting of The Sword of Tipu Sultan, liquor baron Vijay Mallya who brought Tipu's sword back to Karnataka from England and is now holed up in the same country as a fugitive, and of Siddaramaiah who lost power after he started celebrating Tipu Jayanti. The belief reportedly goes that whoever celebrates Tipu, considered by some as a tyrant, will have to pay for it. The invitation card for the official event does not mention the name of Chief Minister Kumaraswamy.
