Gujarat Election 2022: Will Implement Uniform Civil Code In Maximum States, Says BJP President Nadda

Gujarat Election 2022: When asked why the BJP does not have a Muslim candidate running in Gujarat, Nadda stated that his party supports "Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas" (development for all).

New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President JP Nadda on Sunday said that Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is a national issue, and would like to implement it in more and more states, reported news agency PTI. "The country's resources and its responsibilities are equal for all. Therefore, the UCC is a welcome step. We would like to implement the UCC in as many states as possible," he said.

When asked why the BJP does not have a Muslim candidate running in Gujarat, Nadda stated that his party supports "Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas" (development for all).

"Late Dr. (APJ) Abdul Kalam became the President (of India) with the BJP's support, then the (Narendra) Modi government at the Centre appointed Muslim governors as well. So, we follow the principle of 'Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas', and tickets for elections are given purely based on winnability," he said.

Nadda stated that one should "distinguish between empowerment and allurement" in regards to the BJP's announcement of several "freebies" in its manifesto for the Gujarat elections, as its rivals did.

"Both the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress know they are not coming to power in Gujarat. Therefore, they can announce freebies without accounting for the funds and budget needed for them," the BJP chief said.

"While our programmes are welfare measures for empowering the poor and the needy. It is not like freebies, which are free for all, they are specifically meant for a segment of the population," he said.

He stated that the BJP's welfare programs aim to "empower" the needy and poor. Nadda asserted that as a result, they have contributed to the economy.

Nadda, who has been organizing roadshows and election rallies throughout Gujarat, anticipates a significant BJP victory in the state assembly elections. 

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi resides in the hearts of the people of Gujarat and they will again repose their faith in the BJP and the party will win another term," he asserted.

The BJP wants to win Gujarat for the seventh time, a record.

The Aam Aadmi Party is the party's new rival, in addition to the Congress. On December 1 and 5, the state will hold two-phase assembly elections, and on December 8 the votes will be counted.
