Karnataka needs "mission" government not "commission" government: Modi
Mysuru: Attacking the Congress government in Karnataka as a "commission" government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said the welfare of the people was never a priority for it and the state needs a "mission" government under the BJP to ensure all-round development.
Addressing a public meeting after dedicating various railway projects here, he said, "As long as there is a Congress government in Karnataka, the state cannot progress. Karnataka does not require a 'commission' government but a 'mission' government led by the BJP which will ensure all-round progress of the state. Congress has ruined the state and people will teach them a lesson in these elections.”
"For over fifty years, it was only one party that ruled the country. What is the reason that about four crore families still lack power supply? Why have they not ensured their well-being for all these years," he asked adding that the country can never repose faith in the Congress.
The Prime Minister said that creating a railway system which is modern and technologically advanced is vital. "We are strengthening the railway networks across the country. Karnataka too is benefiting from it."

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.
