“Don’t Do Something You Might Regret”: Rishi Sunak’s Appeal To Voters

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak hit the campaign trail on Tuesday, the penultimate day of campaigning ahead of polling day on Thursday, urging voters to not "do something they regret" and warning against the Opposition Labour being handed a "supermajority". All pre-election opinion polls indicate a strong mandate for the Labour Party, forcing the incumbent Rishi Sunak-led Conservatives on the back foot to caution voters against "Labour without limits" under the leadership of Sir Keir Starmer. Both main party leaders are using the final two days of campaigning to zigzag as many parts of the United Kingdom as possible, especially where they hope there are still some undecided voters to win over. "Once you make that decision on Thursday, there's no going back. Don't do something you might ...

Bihar Approaches Supreme Court Over Verdict Striking Down Quota Hike

The Bihar government has moved the Supreme Court challenging a Patna High Court verdict that has set aside the amended reservation laws in the state, which enabled the Nitish Kumar government to increase the quotas for Dalits, tribals and backward classes from 50 per cent to 65 per cent. In its June 20 verdict, the high court declared that the amendments, passed unanimously by the state's bicameral legislature in November last year, were "ultra vires" of the Constitution, "bad in law" and "violative of the equality clause". The state's plea has been filed in the top court through advocate Manish Kumar.
