Kumaraswamy elected JD(S)LP leader
Bengaluru: The Janata Dal (Secular) Legislature Party (JDLP) on Thursday unanimously elected party's State president H.D. Kumaraswamy as the legislature party leader.
Informing this to media persons at a private hotel, party's senior MLA GT Devegowda said that I am grateful to the people of the state, my party workers, and BSP's activists. The result did not give us happiness. BJP did not win 104 seats through the charisma of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party's efforts. BJP lacks eight MLAs for the government formation. Some MLAs of my party are being offered with Rs. 100 crore and a cabinet post, "he said.
'' I have received two offers. I have a pain that I am not becoming CM by the people's support. I am also facing the challenge of seeing that my father's secular image should not be hurt. "

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.
