‘Hand over ‘Muda scam’ to CBI’, demands Chalavadi Narayanaswamy
Bengaluru: Legislative Council Opposition leader Chalavadi Narayanaswamy stated that the MUDA site allotment scam must be given over to a CBI investigation. Only this could bring out the real facts, he said. He was speaking to the press people at Jagannatha Bhavana, BJP state office, in Bengaluru on Friday.
Alleging that attempts were afoot to bury the MUDA case without allowing a CBI investigation, Chalavadi Narayanaswamy said that the Congress should have celebrated the Valmiki Jayanti as a day of repentance, if it had any humanity. "The CM must immediately resign and all those who loaded the all the MUDA files onto a helicopter must also be investigated", he added.
The BJP leader alleged that corruption had stopped being an offence to the CM and Congress party. "The Congress government has appointed a wolf to guard the sheep. Despite heavy corruption taking place, those who come out of jail are in a jubilant mood. Valmiki Jayanti only happened yesterday. I felt ashamed when Siddaramaiah was celebrating it. How right is it for the people who gulped down the Valmiki Corporation to celebrate Valmiki Jayanti?" he questioned.
Referring to ED raid on MUDA office, taluk office and the house of the land owner Devaraju, Narayanaswamy said that this happened because the investigative agency's repeated request for MUDA files had been rejected. He alleged that the government wanted to bury the facts of the case and the MUDA sites were 'unnecessarily' returned. "President Marigowda has been removed. Officers there have been shifted to different departments. All this points at the fact that a huge corruption had happened there", he said.

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.
