Kalaburgi, May 4: AICC president Rahul Gandhi said that as Prime Minister Narendra Modi has helped mining czars to come out of the jails and competing for sending them to Assembly, people should not allow them to enter the Assembly again.

Addressing an election rally here on Friday, Rahul Gandhi said that PM Modi has been talking about corruption in the state.  But Modi is keeping BJP chief ministerial candidate corrupt BS Yeddyurappa and Reddy brothers beside him. Now they were given tickets. Does Modi has morality to speak about corruption, he asked.

 

It is sure that the Congress led government would come to power at the centre in 2019. Within ten days, the Congress government would waive of the farmers loans, he said denying the PM’s charges of cheating the dalits.

When the attacks were on the rise on dalits in the country, Modi is keeping silent. His slogan “Beti Bachao, Beti Padao” should be changed into “Beti Bachao BJP Shasak se”, he ridiculed.

 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi does not have any programmes worth mentioning. So, he has been criticizing him and Mallikarjuna Kharge personally. But he would not make personal attacks like Modi, 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.
