After defeat in poll, Congress once again bounced back to power
Here is a complete details on strategies like call record app, change of hotels
New Delhi, May 20: After election drubbing in the Karnataka Assembly election, the Congress has come out as a phoenix in its post-election strategies to win over the BJP. It has a clarity on its strategies right from extending support to JDS if the Congress got less than 100 seats in the election, changing of hotels of Congress MLAs, downloading the call record application to record the calls of BJP leaders who will lure the Congress MLAs, to arranging a special flight to bring Abhishek Manu Singhvi from Chandigarh and it has got fruits for its strategies.
Party sources said that the party leadership has planned strategies after going through all developments well-in advance. AICC president Rahul Gandhi had met party leaders Ahmed Patel, Ghulam Nabi Azad, Ashok Gehlot and KC Venugopal on May 14 morning and planned the strategy. The decision to extend its unconditional support to JDS if it got less than half of the total seats was also taken there only.
Interestingly, this message was given to JDS. All five AICC general secretaries Manicka Tagore, PC Vishnunath, Madhu Yashki Goud, Sheik Sailajanath and Yashomati Tagore were directed to be in the designated counting centres and Azad, Gehlot and Venugopal have camped in Bengaluru. As soon as they knew that the BJP would not get the majority, they were asked to contact all the MLAs and bring them to Bengaluru. On the next day of the result, political high drama was started in Delhi and Bengaluru.
Congress-JDS combine has prevailed upon the Governor on May 15 to invite them to form the government. Soon after they confirmed that Yeddyurappa would place his claim for forming the government, the Congress leadership held a meeting in New Delhi and decided to take up legal fight. For this reason, Abhishek Manu Singhvi was brought from Chandigarh in a special flight. Both Ahmed Patel and Randeep Surjewala have spoken to Singhvi over phone and finalized the draft. Even, they have spoken to Congress leader MB Patil over the present situation.
As Singhvi missed the flight, the Congress has made special flight for him thinking that train journey would be delayed. So, the combined efforts of all Congress leaders have turned the defeat as victory.

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.
