Rift within NDA over implementation of UCC in Bihar
Ruling JD (U) MLA and former Minister Shyam Rajak said that UCC will not be implemented in Bihar at any cost
A rift has emerged within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar over the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), following Union Home Minister Amit Shah's assertion that it will be introduced nationwide by 2029 in states where the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the NDA hold power. The Janata Dal (United) MLA and former Minister, Shyam Rajak, staunchly opposes the UCC's introduction in Bihar, citing the previous stance of leader Nitish Kumar and the current government's alliance composition as reasons why it will not be implemented.
The opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) also asserts that the UCC is not a threat to any religious group, emphasizing their commitment to secularism and opposing any attempt to incite religious discord.
