In a fiery address at the Dr Ram Manohar Lohia National Law University, Shah declared that the BJP will enforce the Uniform Civil Code in Uttar Pradesh if it regains the state government in the 2027 elections—no doubt about it.
He highlighted that UCC has already been adopted in several states and promised to roll it out immediately after victory, citing a firm stance on legal uniformity across the nation.
Shah also targeted the Samajwadi Party and other opposition, accusing them of vote‑list irregularities and linking them to the 1990 Ayodhya violence, demanding accountability.
The BJP’s state leaders, including Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, were present, joined by national figures Smriti Irani and Vinod Tawde.
The party has set a deadline for September 2027 to table the UCC bill in the state assembly, after which it will seek parliamentary approval, setting the stage for a high‑stakes debate.
Observers warn that the promise may polarise voters ahead of the elections, while the opposition cautions that the move could trigger legal challenges and political backlash.
