Yeddyurappa is an insane, says CM Siddaramaiah
Shivamogga, May 5: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that BJP chief ministerial candidate BS Yeddyurappa who has been telling that he would take oath as the CM, is really an insane.
Speaking to reporters here on Saturday, Siddaramaiah said that BJP manifesto is a bundle of lies. Loan waiver is just a political gimmick. Why didn’t they waive of the loans when they were in power. Let them disclose about their contribution to the farmers. There is no value to the words of Yeddyurappa who had been to jail on corruption charges. The people are intelligent and they would not accept Yeddyurappa. Even now, they were in power at the centre and they have not waived of the loan which means, they have failed in fulfilling their promises. Being a prime minister, Narendra Modi has completely failed, he said.
Really, Yeddyurappa who has been telling that he would take oath as the CM is an insane. His Mission-150 has come down to just 50. Yeddyurappa is facing total 23 cases and how could people accept a tainted person as CM candidate. In spite of repeated visit of Modi, people of Karnataka would not accept Yeddyurappa. “I am a secular man. I would love the people of all communities, castes and religions. BJP leaders do not have the moral right to question me. For the last five years, I have worked without any discrimination. It is the work of BJP to divide the society on the basis of deaths, religions, castes”, he said.
Out of 224 candidates, the BJP has not given a single ticket to either a Muslim or a Christian. What moral right do the BJP leaders have to point towards Siddaramaiah, he asked.
Responding to the Modi’s comment on Bengaluru as number one crime city, the CM said that Karnataka has emerged number -1 in investment. Would anybody come to Bengaluru to make investment if it is a crime city? Karnataka is in the first position for the last two years in investment. Law and order is good in the state. Being a prime minister, Modi should speak responsibly. If the dalits, backward classes, farmers, minorities were facing problem, it was because of Modi government, he said.
Both Yeddyurappa and KS Eshwarappa are outsiders to Shivamogga district. One is from Bookanakere and another one is from Ballary. The Congress was getting good response in the district including Shikaripu. Yeddyurappa would definitely bite the dust in Shikaripur. Both Yeddyurappa and Eshwarappa would taste the defeat. Already, people have decided to keep the communal away from power, he said appealing the people not to vote communal party.
Shivamogga urban candidate K B Prasanna Kumar, MLC R Prasanna Kumar were present.

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.
