PM Modi a seasonal politician: HDK
Koppal, May 5: JDS president and former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been campaigning for power as he is the seasonal politician.
Speaking to reporters at Kukanur in the district on Saturday, Kumaraswamy said that people would not believe any politician if he uttered the names of some historians. People would not take his speech seriously. Both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and AICC president Rahul Gandhi were like buffoons. They would read out the speeches written by someone. What did they know about Karnataka state, he asked.
People will give answer
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has been telling very often that the JDS would not come to power in the state. But the people of the state would give a befitting reply to Siddaramaiah on May 15, he said.
Cup is ours
Former prime minister and JDS supremo HD Deve Gowda is a senior politician in the country. So, Modi has praised him. But his statement against voting JDS it is not fair. In this election, JDS would come to power on its own and this time, it is JDS cup, he said.
Campaign from film stars
Because of the fear of losing the election, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has been bringing film actors for campaigning. But people were talking that film stars would campaign for anybody for money and this is not a good development, 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.
