BJP leader Amit Shah stated that the party will implement the Uniform Civil Code in Uttar Pradesh if it secures a mandate again. He also predicted that the Samajwadi Party will not form the government in the state for the next three decades.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah has outlined the Bharatiya Janata Party's legislative agenda for Uttar Pradesh, asserting that the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is a priority if the party is re-elected to the state assembly.
Addressing the political landscape of the state, Shah directed a specific remark at Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav. He stated that the SP-led alliance is unlikely to form the government in Uttar Pradesh for the next 30 years, signaling the BJP's confidence in its electoral strength in the region.
The comments underscore the BJP's focus on social reform and legal uniformity as key pillars of its campaign strategy in the state. The Uniform Civil Code has been a central demand of the party for several years, aiming to replace personal laws based on religious customs with a common set of laws for all citizens.
These statements are part of the ongoing political discourse leading up to the next general and state elections, where the BJP is positioning itself against opposition parties in Uttar Pradesh, a critical battleground for national politics.
