In UP’s Unnao rape case, BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar is an accused. Meanwhile in Kathua in Jammu and Kashmir, where an eight-year-old was raped and murdered, BJP leaders have been demanding a CBI probe, which is seen by many as a move to ‘shield the accused.’

Bengaluru,May 1: As Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to land in Karnataka on Tuesday for campaigning, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has a few questions for the prime minister.
Dear @narendramodi ಅವರೇ,
Heard you are visiting Namma Karnataka tomorrow. We welcome you to our state.
While you are here, we Kannadigas would like you to address the following concerns.
ದಯವಿಟ್ಟು #AnswerMaadiModi ಅವರೇ

In next tweet, Siddaramaiah asked Modi to clarify wheather Janardhan Reddy would campaign in support of B Sriramulu, the party candidate from Badami.
Would G Janardhan Reddy be joining your rallies here? You have given his family & friends 8 tickets, hoping it will help BJP in 10-15 seats.
— Siddaramaiah (@siddaramaiah) April 30, 2018
And then, you lecture us on corruption.
Please end this hypocrisy. Kannadigas aren’t wearing Kamala on their ears.
Scam-tainted Reddy has not been included in the BJP list, but will be campaigning for his “friend” Sirarmulu.
Speaking to reporters earlier, BS Yeddyurappa, the CM canidadte from BJP had said: “Janardhan Reddy has not been included in the electioneering list of the BJP. He is campaigning not for the party, but for his friend Sriramulu.”
Siddaramaiah then asked the prime minister if Yeddyurappa is still his party’s chief ministerial candidate, when he reportedly is unwilling to share a stage with the latter.
You first make scam tainted @BSYBJP your party’s CM face in Karnataka. Then media reports that you don’t want to be seen sharing the stage with him at rallies!
— Siddaramaiah (@siddaramaiah) April 30, 2018
Karnataka wants to know if Yeddyurappa is still your CM candidate?
Hitting out at the series of advertisements that the BJP had taken out in newspapers promising action against rape accused in Karnataka, Siddaramaiah tweeted:
In Karnataka, you give tickets to rape accused & MLAs who watched porn in Assembly. In UP, CM Adityanath protects a BJP MLA who raped a 16 Yr old girl. In J&K, your MLAs defend rapists of a child.
— Siddaramaiah (@siddaramaiah) April 30, 2018
And then your party makes bombastic Ads to politicise rape in Karnataka?!
Siddaramaiah, in his next tweet, criticised the shock demonetisation of November 2016, which left several people across the country in a limbo owing to cash-crunch. He also hit out at the prime minister for his ‘pakoda’ comment.
First, you promised 15L to ppl, then Shah called it an election Jumla. You promised jobs, but then advised youth to sell pakodas. You said demonetisation would end black money, but it only brought misery to common ppl.
— Siddaramaiah (@siddaramaiah) April 30, 2018
And then you come here and call real development a lollipop?
At the end of this tweet storm, Siddarmaiah asked one final question, criticising the NDA’s government’s farm relief package and the banking mess in the economy.
Your mantra = Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas but your govt has forsaken the poor. Banks write off 2.71L Cr corp loans, but farmers get only speeches. MSP for farmers not increased, but they get promise of doubling income by 2022.
— Siddaramaiah (@siddaramaiah) April 30, 2018
Are you serious abt farmers’ concerns? #AnswerMaadiModi

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.
