‘The Secular Emblem is down, come to Congress’: DK Suresh invites JDS members to his party
Bengaluru: The Congress candidate for Bengaluru Rural Constituency DK Suresh invited the JDS cadre to his party while addressing a press meet in the city on Friday. He said that as the lady in the symbol of the secular party had put down the hay, it was time for the JDS cadre to leave the party.
“I have worked hard in my constituency as a Member of the Parliament. I ask my people to pay the dues for my work by their votes. Dr Manjunath has made a personal decision to contest. If he was really a strong candidate, he should have stood under the symbol of JDS. So why is he contesting under the symbol of BJP?” DK Suresh questioned.

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.
