Smooth law and order is how Kʼtaka got 77000 crore investments in months: Siddaramaiah
CM mentions Vartha Bharatiʼs editorial in his speech
Bengaluru : In a recent statement, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah highlighted the significant investment of ₹77,000 crore in Karnataka within just 9 months of his government coming to power as evidence of the state's smooth law and order situation.
Responding to discussions in the Legislative Assembly regarding the Governor's speech, Siddaramaiah praised the effective implementation of the government's development and welfare schemes. He criticised opposition leader R. Ashok for allegedly ignoring the Governor's speech and falsely claiming a deterioration in law and order.
Siddaramaiah stressed on the direct correlation between capital investment and law and order, citing the substantial investment as indicative of the state's security and stability. He also defended Home Minister Parameshwar's response to Ashok's accusations, labelling the BJP as a party of lies and stating that the people of Karnataka had rejected them for focusing on falsehoods rather than development.
Siddaramaiah further criticised the BJP, pointing out that the party has never come to power in Karnataka through a clear electoral mandate, instead relying on tactics like Operation Kamala to lure MLAs to their side. He challenged the BJP to provide an example of them governing with a clear majority.
Despite facing defeat in the past, Siddaramaiah highlighted his party's acceptance of the people's decision and its commitment to constructive opposition. We never took refuge in lies, he said.
The CM also mentioned that state level Kannada and English newspapers including Vartha Bharati and other media have written and appreciated the Governor's speech and the benefits of the government's guarantee schemes. He said that the opposition parties should make it a habit to at least read the opinions and analyses of the national newspapers and not tell lies without knowing anything.

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.
