Congress committing dacoity on rights of OBCs, SCs, STs: PM
“Wherever it (Congress) can do it, it will try to loot the claims of the SCs, STs and OBCs and give them to others,” said Modi.
Refusing urgent hearing of a plea seeking rescheduling of poll dates in Tamil Nadu, the Supreme Court on Thursday asked how long does it take to vote and why voters can’t cast vote on a holy day.
Tamil Nadu and Puducherry go to polls on 18 April.
A bench, headed by Justice SA Bobde, asked the counsel of a Christian body that sought an urgent listing of its plea, “You can’t cast your vote on a holy day?”

The petitioner said the scheduled date of polling for Lok Sabha elections in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry falls within the holy period of Good Friday and Easter and therefore the date of polling in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry be rescheduled.
“How long does it take to vote?” the bench said, adding, “We don’t want to advise you how to pray and how to cast vote”.
The petitioner’s counsel told the court that the Madras High Court had dismissed their plea on 22 March and they have moved the apex court against it.
