‘Sidda Rupaiah’ govt pushing Karnataka towards bankruptcy: Modi
Ballary, May 3: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that ‘Sidda Rupaiah’ government in Karnataka has pushed the state towards bankruptcy.
Addressing the rally here on Thursday, the Prime Minister said that though the city is on the bank of Tunga-Bhadra river, the people were not getting water for drinking and crops. The government has failed to desilt the reservoir. Do you need such a government, he asked the people.
“We are assuring Ballari people that BJP will solve your problems. Not only Ballari, but the BJP is ready to provide water to all places. On the line of Maharashtra government, steps would be taken to desilt the Tunga-Bhadra reservoir”, he promised.
Anti-Dalit
The Congress is anti-dalit and it has not done anything for the welfare of dalits and backward classes. When the Centre planned to give Constitutional status to Backward Classes Commission, the Congress is opposing the move. It is not allowing the Bill to be passed in Rajya Sabha, he said.
Modi said that the Congress announced that it would make Mallikarjuna Kharge as chief minister only to garner the votes of dalits. But after the election, it did nothing. In the same way, it had cheated Lingayat leader S Nijalingappa. Siddaramaiah had come to Congress after tasting power in Lok Dal, Janata Dal and other parties. But it was BJP which made scientist Dr APJ Abdul Kalam and Ramanath Kovind as Presidents of the country. In the same way, it was BJP which made a person who came from backward class and selling tea as a prime minister, he said.
BJP is not anti-South
Some people ridicule that BJP is belonging to North India. But it has made Venkaiah Naidu who belongs to South India as Vice President, a woman Nirmala Sitaraman of Tamil Nadu as Defence Minister. The BJP has not neglected anybody, he said.
The BJP would come out with Rs 6000 crore project to encourage jeans industry in Ballari. Karnataka would be developed if Ballari is improved, he said seeking support for BJP.

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.
