Amit Shah flags off motorcycle rally to mark PM Modi’s 25 years in public life
Amit Shah launched the Seva Sankalp Abhiyaan in Vadnagar on PM Modi’s 76th birthday, with motorcycle rallies from Vadnagar and Varanasi to culminate on October 7.
Maharashtra's seven-member committee, responsible for drafting the state's Uniform Civil Code (UCC), has convened just once, despite Union Home Minister Amit Shah's determination to enact the UCC in all 21 BJP-NDA ruled states by 2029. Speaking at a recent event, Amit Shah declared that the UCC would be introduced in every NDA-controlled state before the 2029 Lok Sabha elections.
The following day, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis disclosed that the state's committee was currently drafting the UCC proposal, aiming to present the bill in the state Assembly during the winter session in December. The committee, headed by former Supreme Court judge Ranjana Desai, was given six months to present its report, yet they have met only a single time.
They are expected to convene again soon to determine the process for drafting the UCC and collect recommendations. The panel will also seek public input through a questionnaire addressing issues like marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption, potentially via a dedicated website or legal volunteers, similar to the consultation method used in Uttarakhand.
This move aligns with Amit Shah's broader strategy to bring the UCC to all 21 BJP-NDA governed states before the next Lok Sabha election.
