BJP Promises Uniform Civil Code in Uttar Pradesh if Re-elected

Union Home Minister Amit Shah told party functionaries that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will introduce the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Uttar Pradesh when it forms the next state government. Speaking at a day-long BJP state executive committee meeting in Lucknow, Shah linked the pledge to the party’s expected third consecutive term in the 2027 Assembly polls. He framed the promise as a contrast to opposition parties, asserting that the Samajwadi Party’s Akhilesh Yadav and Congress’s Rahul Gandhi “don’t stand a chance” in the upcoming contest.

The UCC proposes a single set of personal-law statutes covering marriage, divorce, inheritance and succession for all citizens, echoing Article 44 of the Constitution’s directive principles. To date, Uttarakhand enacted a UCC law in 2024, and BJP-led states such as Gujarat, Assam, Rajasthan and Maharashtra have begun framing similar legislation.

He urged party workers to set aside grievances and focus on the “victory of lotus” in the 2027 polls. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, and state president Pankaj Chaudhary echoed the call for a unified campaign, portraying the BJP’s record over the past decade as a transformation in development and law-and-order.
