Karnataka might get President's rule if new govt is not formed before July 31: Speaker Ramesh Kumar
Bengaluru: Karnataka Assembly Speaker Ramesh Kumar has expressed concerns that by the end of July the finance act will not be passed and there are possibilities that the President’s rule be imposed in the state if no party forms the government after the Cong-JD(S) coalition government collapsed on Tuesday.
Speaking to reporters Ramesh Kumar added that if the government is not formed and finance act is not passed in Vidhan Soudha and Vidhan Parishat, state might face financial problems and in such a case President’s rule might be imposed in the state if no government is formed.
“Not even one rupee can be withdrawn from the government’s finance. Salaries of the government employees will also not be paid” he added.
“New government should be formed before July 31, if not there will be several problems. Without the formation of government Finance Act cannot be passed. It is for the first time there is constitutional crisis in the state” Ramesh Kumar said.
Hitting out at the rebel MLAs Ramesh Kumar said “I had issued notice to them to attend the hearing, but they didn’t turn up. I have other works to do too other than just sending notices to them. Law is equal for all and all are equal before law. The President the daily wage laborers are all equal before law”.

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.
