Belagavi, May 4: Union Minister Ananth Kumar Hegde stirred another controversy by terming Chief Minister Siddaramaiah as a begger, ghost and Ravana.
While campaigning in favour of party candidate at Sampagavi in Bylahongala taluk in the district on Friday, Hegde said that normally nobody would reside in the ghost house. So, all senior Congress leaders are leaving that party and coming to the BJP. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is like a begger, ghost and Ravana. Prime Minister Modi’s programmes were not reached this village because of the administration of Ravana in Karantaka, he said.
Siddaramaiah had issued a notification to take over some temples and mutts and thus targeted a community. Why he doesn’t show the courage of taking over the churches and masjids, he asked.
The Congress which has ruled the country for seventy years does not have the power to stay here. If it has the morality and concerns towards the country, let its leaders apply paint on the faces declaring that they would not lie in future, he said.
Besides dividing the religions, Siddaramaiah is devastating the country as well. Due to which, there is no unity. If all others are united, people like Siddaramaiah would not stay here, he said.

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.
