Congress will win all the eight seats in Dakshina Kannada: Poojary
Mangaluru, May,9: Senior leader of Congress Janardhana Poojary said that Congress will emerge victorious in all eight seats in Dakshina Kannada.
Speaking at a press meet in party office in Kadri here in the city on Wednesday Poojary said, in last assembly election congress has won seven seats in the coastal district. But this time we will bag all the eight seats.
Some people spreading false propaganda against MLA J. R Lobo. This is condemnable. Congress is not restricted to one religion or caste. The party believes in secular principles and respects every religion. Lobo also respects people from all the community. Projecting him as anti Bunts and anti Billava is not right he said.
Lobo is secular person and spreading false rumours against him is condemnable. If it is proved that Lobo is a castiest, I myself will cast my vote against him, Poojary said.
MLA J.R Lobo, DCC president Harish Kumar, KPCC general secretary and district incharge U.V Venkatesh, Mayor Bhaskar Moily, MUDA president Suresh Ballal, former mayor Shashidhar hedge, party leader Muhammed Masood, Kallige Taranath Shetty, Muhammed Salim, Vijay Kumar Shetty and others were present.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases. Total tally now 52
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.
