Speculation Mounts Over Kumaraswamy's Candidacy from Mandya in Lok Sabha Elections
Mandya: Sources within the JDS indicate that there is a strong likelihood of Kumaraswamy contesting from Mandya in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
It appears that Kumaraswamy is being considered as a replacement for CS Puttaraju. Reportedly, Kumaraswamy enjoys greater support among party members, and his candidacy is believed to be more advantageous for the party.
Comparatively, Kumaraswamy is seen as a stronger contender against the Congress candidate. Speculation within the JDS suggests that this move could bolster the party's presence in Old Mysore.
As of now, CS Puttaraju's candidacy has not been officially confirmed for the Lok Sabha elections.

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.
