Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the BJP will implement a Uniform Civil Code in Uttar Pradesh, tying the promise to the construction of the Ram temple, should the party return to power.
Union Home Minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah made a statement linking the long‑awaited Ram temple project with the party’s pledge to introduce a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Uttar Pradesh.
He indicated that the BJP’s commitment to a UCC would be fulfilled only if the party regains power in the state, positioning the promise as part of its broader cultural and legal agenda.
The remarks, reported by The Economic Times, come ahead of the upcoming state elections, where the BJP is seeking to consolidate its support base by combining religious symbolism with policy proposals.
Political analysts note that coupling the temple issue with the UCC could influence voter sentiment in a state where communal and legal reforms are contentious topics.
