Uttarakhand takes the lead
The tabling of a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill in the Uttarakhand Assembly is a clear sign of what the Bharatiya Janata Party plans to do after the dilution of Article 370 and the consecration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. These three issues are what define the BJP from the other mainstream political parties. Though contentious, the Bill is sure to be implemented in the hill State, providing an impetus to the BJP’s prospects in terms of election results.
But, opposition to the UCC is bound to decrease the number of votes from the general public even if the Muslim vote share fades for the BJP.
