MLA Jignesh Mevani challenges Modi to come to debate over his four years administration
Mysuru, May 2: Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to come for a debate with him for four minutes about his achievements of four years in office.
Mevani who was travelling across the state as part of the campaign being conducted by the Karnataka State Level Form for Save Constitution, told reporters here on Wednesday that people should know the contribution of Narendra Modi after he became the Prime Minister. The country has been facing lot of problems like unemployment, farmers suicide, atrocity on dalits, sexual harassment on women and children. So, let Modi discuss about all these issue for just four minutes with him, he challenged.
Before asking AICC president Rahul Gandhi to speak about fifteen minutes about Karnataka, Modi should speak about his four years achievements before the people. It is not enough to have 56 inch chest. He should have the mentality of giving good governance. Modi speaks about Ambedkar, but in his heart, he is still a staunch follower of Manu Smriti. Because of this reason, he does not have morality to bow before the statue of Ambedkar. The agenda of both RSS and BJP is same, he said.
Those who speak about Gujarat Model should be ashamed of themselves because the civic workers and peons working in Gujarat Assembly and Secretariat were suffering due to lack of shelter and they were not being given equal pay. Is that the Gujarat Model, he asked.
The communal Modi government has done a lot of damage to the Constitution. Youth of the country should be aware about the problems being faced by the country. The remedy for this is to keep BJP and other communal forces away from the power, he said.
Modi who had promised of giving jobs to the youth has forgotten his words. Farmers suicide incidents were unabated in the country. It has withdrawn various subsidies. Small and cottage industries were disappearing from the society and lakhs of employment opportunities in the Railways are being reduced, he said.
As to why Narendra Modi who gives interviews to London media is keeping himself away from Indian media? Let Modi speak for four minutes about farmers suicide, atrocity, unemployment and other problems. But it seems he does not care about this. They are just thinking about changing the Constitution. He would not say that Congress government led by Siddaramaiah did a big achievement. But compared to Gujarat, Siddaramaiah is better, he said.
He would not ask the dalits of the state to vote for any particular party. But he would say that keep the communal forces from power. Karnataka election is between the communal forces and Indians. Communalism would not last longer. It would end from Karnataka itself. 2019 Lok Sabha election would also become the election between communal forces and Indians, he said.
He smelt the rat in the Supreme Court verdict on SC/ST issue. He sees the handiwork of BJP government in that verdict. Harassment and atrocity incidents are happening against dalits for every 15 minutes. The Attorney General who should have argued in favour of SC/ST issue sent his juniors. As they have completely failed to argue before the Supreme Court, they have got this verdict, 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.
