Udupi: The Udupi District Women's Congress Committee and various organizations of the party staged a protest against the failures of Narendra Modi-led NDA government's four-year rule on Saturday at Ajjarakadu Martyr’s Memorial.
Addressing protestors, District Congress Committee President Geeta Vagle said, "The Modi government has been fooling people by giving false assurances in the past four years. The black money has not returned yet which they had promised in their manifesto. The Ganga River is not cleaned, jobs are not created. In all, Modi has betrayed people of the country."
Speaking at the occasion, AICC member Amrut Shenoy said that the BJP, which had opposed foreign investment during the UPA government, has now invested foreign capital in railways and defense. Modi, who had been sternly opposed to Pakistan before coming to power, visited Pakistan that too without invitation.”
“In the four years' Modi rule, ‘achhe din’ have not come to anybody. Prime Minister Modi should answer whether India and banks are in profit. Youths are becoming victims of BJP's political Hindutva,” he criticised.
Congress leaders Janardhan Thonse, Meenakshi Madhava Bannanje, Narasimhamurthy, Janardhan Bhandarkar, Varonika Kernelio, Malyady Shivarama Shetty, Shankar Kundar, Kishan Hegde Kolkebailu, Sarasu D Bangera, Sarala Kanchan, Dr. Sunita Shetty, Bhaskar Rao Kidiyoor and others were present.

ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
