Do not want Jungleraj-like governance in Karnataka: Jignesh Mevani
Bengaluru, May 10: Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani said that the state of Karnataka does not want Prime Minister Narendra Modi and chief minister Adityanath's ideal governance here.
Addressing a press conference organised by the Karnataka Forum to save the Constitution, Mevani said that law and order in Uttar Pradesh had wholly been disturbed, following which a jungle-raj is created. Karnataka does not want such governance here, he said.
Mr. Mevani said "while, more than 2,000 encounters took place after Yogi Adithyanath became the chief minister of UP, many innocents have been killed in that. Dalits, Muslims, and people belonging to backward classes are being targeted. But, Karnataka is Basavanna's land. Here equality exists. Do not display your development model here.
Questions Modi: It has been four years since Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power in the country, but he has not fulfilled any promise he made to people. Mevani, who had Challenged Mr. Modi to tell his developmental works for 15 minutes in his speeches, has stated that his (Modi's) government is very active in doing Love Jihad, Ghar Wapsi, and Communal politics.
"In the past four years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made a false promise of developing all the fields. But; Gujarat, which was ruled by him for past 20 years, has left far behind in the Development Index. By telling BJP and Narendra Modi has done developments, they are misleading people," the Gujarat MLA alleged.
"when I am inviting him for an open discussion on Gujarat's development, he is not at all responding. Instead, he is chanting development's mantra in election speeches. He has utterly failed in creating jobs. People should not vote for BJP by going with their words, Mr. Mevani appealed.
Speaking at the press meet, doctor Kafeel Khan of BRD hospital Gorakhpur in Gujarat, said "Government had to pay nearly Rs. 60 lakh to an oxygen supplying company. The company had stopped the oxygen supply due to non-payment. This had resulted in the death of 60 infants.
"But, the health ministry never came forward to conduct an inquiry of officials of the health department. Rather, they sent me to jail. But the high court has granted me bail. They had threatened me that they would not allow me to come out for two years," Mr. Khan alleged.
Former minister BT Lalitha Nayak, Nadeem Khan, Karnataka Janashakthi's Gowri 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.
