BJP kidnaps Anand Singh: Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru, May 18: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah alleged that though the BJP has kidnapped Congress MLA Anand Singh and kept him under illegal detention, he would vote in favor JDS-Congress combine.
Speaking to reporters at the KPCC office here on Friday, Siddarmaiah said that the BJP leaders Janardhan Reddy and Sriramulu have spoken to some MLAs of Congress and JDS in order to attract them to the BJP and the Congress has all the records of their discussions. They would disclose them at the right time, he said.
The Governor has invited the BJP to form the government which is unconstitutional and violation of Supreme Court orders. He has given 15 days’ time for the floor test, which is for the first time in the history of the country. The credit for this decision should go to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amith Shah, he remarked.
As soon as the election results were announced on May 15, Congress senior leaders Mallikarjuna Kharge, Gulam Nabi Azad, Dr G Parameshwar and others have met the Governor, apprised him of the situation and appealed him to give the chance to the JDS-Congress combine to form the government has they have 117 strength. But the Governor has invited the BJP which does not have majority and it is the murder of the democracy, Siddaramaiah said.
Gulam Nabi Azad said that as decided in Goa, Meghalay and Manipur states, they have requested the Governor to invite the JDS-Congress combine to form the government. But the Governor has acted against the Constitution and invited the BJP, which is a black mark in the democracy, he added.
It’s a blow to BJP
Both Narendra Modi and Amith Shah are the fossils of Hitler in the country. They do not have respect towards the country and the Constitution. This is a clear violation of Constitutional provisions. The Supreme Court has already given a blow to those who tried to defy the Constitution. The BJP has detained Anand Singh and he would vote for JDS-Congress combine tomorrow, Siddaramaiah 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.
