Eknath shinde on caste survey: The Central Government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has decided for caste census. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav gave this information. A column of caste will also be kept in the census form itself. The reaction of Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde has now come to this decision. Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde says that this decision of the Modi government is historic.

Eknath Shinde said, “This news came out on the eve of Maharashtra Day. If seen in a way, it can be called the gift of social justice from the Modi government to the country.”

‘Congress cannot bear the condition of Congress’- Eknath Shinde
At the same time, while targeting the Congress, Eknath Shinde said, “The condition of the Congress, which talks about ‘Save the Constitution’, has become ‘and can not even say’. This party, which has only demanded a showy demand for caste -based census, has never taken any concrete decision on it, but due to its votebank politics, it never gave such a census.”

‘PM Modi has never back down from taking historical decisions’- Eknath Shinde
At the same time, when a copy of the Constitution is taken on Rahul Gandhi and other Congress leaders, Eknath Shinde said, “It is easy to raise slogans of ‘Save the Constitution’ with an empty red diary in hand, but taking strict decisions is not the case for everyone. Modi has never made back from taking such decisions, and this is the latest proof of it. India will appear to be the first proof.

‘Milk milk and water will become water’- Eknath Shinde
Eknath Shinde said, “The caste -based census will have ‘milk, water of water’ and it will be clear from which threads the foundation of this country is woven. There is a need to take such decisions, but Modi has taken consultant steps for social justice regardless of elections, votes etc.”

He further said, “After Article 370, Nari Shakti Vandan, Waqf Board Reform Act, a decision of caste census has now been decided. On behalf of Shiv Sena, we heartily greeted the Modi government, express their gratitude and fully support this decision.”

Stock market holiday this week: Usually the Indian stock market is closed on the national holiday. The market will be closed for three days between April 28 and May 4 this week, including special days like Labor Day and Maharashtra Day. The holiday in the stock market is different from banks or public holidays. Therefore, trading in the market is not due to holiday in the market on a particular day.

The stock market is closed on May 1 as Maharashtra Day is on this day. In 1960, Maharashtra separated and came into existence. Both Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) are in Mumbai, so there is a holiday in the market on this day.
