BJP planning to make Jagadish Shettar taste defeat in LS polls: Laxman Savadi
Bengaluru: “BJP is planning to make former Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar taste defeat in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls,” stated Congress MLA and Former Minister Laxman Savadi speaking to reporters in the city on Tuesday.
He further stated, “Shettar had left BJP, joined the Congress, later switched back to the BJP. BJP has now systematically prepared a plan to make him (Jagadish Shettar) a scapegoat by fielding him from the Belagavi Lok Sabha constituency.”

“BJP leaders are trying to bring Jagdish Shettar to Belagavi and taste defeat there. BJP neither wants Shettar to make a statement that he didn't get a ticket to contest the election, nor intends for him to win. BJP's plan is to make him sit at home after losing,” added Savadi.
Savadi further said, “Time has come for BJP’s decline, I had said this during the previous assembly elections. How has the saffron party treated Sadananda Gowda and KS Eshwarappa today? They (BJP) do not need seniors, veterans and those who worked for the party.”

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.
