BSY skipping the floor-test, citing lack of majority, is the victory of Democracy: Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: BS Yeddyurappa in Vidhan Soudha agreed to face a floor test. He couldn't do it. This is a victory of democracy, says former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
"Today is a historic day in Indian politics. There was immense pressure on the Governor by the central government. The Governor's decision was a blot on Indian democracy. We should respect the people's mandate. It is a responsibility of all politicians and democratic heads. PM Modi and his ministers are working against the democracy. Modi is Hitler, and Amit Shah is Goebbels" Siddaramaiah said.
Though BSY asked a week time to prove the majority, the governor granted 15 days. It is clear that the governor is pro-BJP. The statement of PM Modi is condemnable when in which he said that they would make the government even if we know that the majority has not come. Prime Minister Narendra Modi promoted the horse trading, and Yeddyurappa has agreed that the latter was indulged in the horse trading. But I am grateful to all the Congress and JD(S) MLAs who knocked down their tricks.

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.
