Draw a Uniform Civil Code for the country
Bharatiya Janata Party · Lok Sabha General Election 2024
Last updated 30 May 2026
“BJP reiterates its commitment to draw a Uniform Civil Code for Bharat that protects the rights of all, drawing upon the best traditions and harmonising them with modern times.”
From the Bharatiya Janata Party manifestoView Manifesto
Our Assessment
highThe 2024 Sankalp Patra reiterated the commitment to a Uniform Civil Code for the country. At the national level no UCC has been enacted. The most concrete action is at the state level: BJP-governed Uttarakhand passed the Uniform Civil Code, Uttarakhand Act, 2024 (presidential assent in March 2024) and brought it into force on 27 January 2025, becoming the first state to implement a UCC, covering marriage, divorce, succession and live-in relationships, with Scheduled Tribes exempted. Other BJP-ruled states have signalled intent to follow. Marked partial: meaningful state-level implementation has begun, but the nationwide Uniform Civil Code implied by the manifesto has not been enacted.
