Modi did not visit Krishna Mutt due to life threat: Shobha Karandlaje
Bengaluru, May 2: BJP leader Shobha Karandlaje said that SPG commandos did not allow Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit Udupi Krishna Mutt due to life threat.
Speaking to reporters at the BJP office here on Wednesday, she said that they have requested the Prime Minister to visit Udupi Krishna Mutt. But after inspecting the security arrangements on the Krishna Mutt premises, the SPG has not allowed the Prime Minister’s visit to the Mutt. So, Modi was not happy for that, she added.
A few days ago, Union Home Minister Rajanath Singh was also not allowed to visit the Krishna Mutt. But Singh did not listen to the words of security group and visited the mutt. But the Prime Minister could not violate the caution of the SPG, she added.
On AICC president Rahul Gandhi, Shobha said that the Congress president has no faith on God. He did not go to any temples even after appointing as the AICC president. But during the election campaigning, he has been visiting the temples and other religious places in the state, she added.
No question of alliance with JDS:
The Congress leaders have been alleging that the BJP has come to an alliance with the JDS. But it is just a cock and bull story. There is no question of alliance with the JDS. The BJP would face the election in all the 224 constituencies seriously, she added.
Congress fearing defeat:
Desperate over the fear of defeat in the election, the Congress has stooped to the low level and engineering violence by pelting stones at BJP campaigning vehicles. This is a clear indication that the Congress is fearing defeat in the election. In Bengaluru, Kolara, Davanagere and Dharwada, the Congress workers have pelted stones at BJP vehicles and damaged them. Instead of asking votes on the development works, the Congress which ruled the state for five years, has been using unparliamentary words in its advertisements against Yeddyurappa and RSS, she averred.
It is the culture of the BJP to respect elders. In view of this, Prime Minister Modi has spoken about former prime minister HD Deve Gowda. In order to make Congress people understand that criticism of Deve Gowda by Rahul Gandhi is not good, Modi has spoken about Deve Gowda. There is nothing much to read into those statements, she clarified.
Manifesto on May 4:
She said that the manifesto of the BJP would be announced on May 4. Architect of Karnataka’s development BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa would release the manifesto, she added.

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.
