On Shah's UCC claim, 3 BJP allies sound caution
No Talks On This So Far: TDP; LJP For Transparency
Three BJP allies have expressed caution regarding the Union Home Minister Amit Shah's claim that Uniform Civil Code (UCC) will be implemented in 21 NDA-governed states by 2029. Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu, parliamentary party leader of Telugu Desam Party in Andhra Pradesh, stated that there is no discussion on the matter yet, and they will involve various stakeholders before adopting it.
JD(U), part of the BJP-led coalition in Bihar, mentioned that they would discuss the issue with Shah. Nitish Kumar, former Bihar CM, emphasized the need for consensus by taking all communities on board. Chirag Paswan of Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) also stressed the importance of publicizing the proposal, considering stakeholders' interests, and conducting comprehensive consultation.
Both Telugu Desam Party and JD(U) have a history of taking independent positions on key BJP ideologies, sometimes aligning closely with the party and sometimes not.
