Supreme Court

The Apex court of India has given a big relief to the Yogi government. The Supreme Court on Wednesday stayed the order of Allahabad High Court, in which Uttar Pradesh government was directed to conduct urban local body elections without reservation for OBCs.

The Supreme Court said that the panel appointed by the UP government has to decide within three months the issues related to OBC reservation for local body elections in the state. The court also said that the Uttar Pradesh government would be free to delegate powers after the end of the term to ensure that the administration of the local bodies is not disrupted during this period.

The apex court further added that after the end of the term of the Uttar Pradesh local bodies, the administrators to whom their powers will be handed over, will not take major policy decisions. A bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice PS Narasimha took note of the submissions of Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the state government. The bench directed that the commission will have to decide the issues related to OBC reservation for elections to local bodies by March 31.

Earlier, the Supreme Court had agreed to hear the petition of the Uttar Pradesh government in the matter of local body elections. The matter was fixed for hearing on January 4. In fact, the UP government had moved the Supreme Court against the High Court’s order canceling the notification of urban local body elections. The Allahabad High Court, in its order, had struck down the government’s draft notification on civic polls.

The state government, in its petition, had said that the High Court cannot set aside the December 5 draft notification, which provides for reservation of seats in urban body elections for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes. The appeal, filed through advocate on record Ruchira Goyal, had contended that OBCs are a constitutionally protected class and the High Court erred in quashing the draft notification.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday distributed two-wheelers to female students of Maharani College in Rajasthan’s Jaipur. The Wayanad MP also took a pillion rides on a girl’s scooter.

After distributing the two-wheeler, Gandhi could be seen taking a ride pillion on a girl’s scooter and surrounded by other female students riding the scooter.

The video of Rahul Gandhi taking a ride pillion on a girl’s scooter has been shared widely on the internet.

Earlier in May this year, Rahul Gandhi took a joyride on a delivery boy’s scooter in Bengaluru as he hopped in the man’s two-wheeler and rode pillion.

In a video that was widely shared on the internet, the Gandhi scion, who was campaigning for the Congress ahead of the May 10 elections in Karnataka, was seen surrounded by a large crowd of supporters and party workers in the heart of Bengaluru city.

The former Wayanad MP then stops to console a little boy who apparently became emotional after meeting Gandhi and in the meantime a delivery man stops near the Congress leader as he’s comforting the kid.

Then, in the spur of the moment, Rahul Gandhi hops on the man’s scooter and puts on a helmet as the two slowly ride through the swarm of the leader’s supporters.

According to reports, Rahul Gandhi rode a pillion with the delivery agent for nearly 2 kms before he dropped the former Congress chief at his hotel.

The videos of Rahul Gandhi’s spontaneous scooter ride with the delivery agent went viral on social media with users appreciating the Congress scion’s down-to-earth style of connecting with people.

In another video, Rahul was also seen with the truck drivers on foreign soil and rode from Washington DC to New York with truck driver Taljinder Singh. During the 190-km long journey, the Congress leader and the truck driver exchanged their views regarding the working conditions of Indian and American truck drivers.
