Mysuru: Union Minister of State for Railways V. Somanna remarked that C.P. Yogeshwar has taken a hasty decision in Channapatna, and that the people there will sound a warning bell in the upcoming by-elections.
Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Somanna said, "It seems like Yogeshwar has made an impulsive decision. I am confident that NDA candidates will secure victory in the by-elections for all three constituencies."
Addressing the MUDA issue, Somanna noted that with the involvement of ED officials, the investigation will likely reach a logical conclusion, and all irregularities in MUDA will be cleared.
He also criticised Minister Byrathi Suresh for his remarks, reminding him of his position as a minister. Somanna added that Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje should not be spoken of disrespectfully, asserting that such comments are unbefitting of Suresh’s stature.

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.
