With Prime Minister Narendra Modi making a strong pitch for a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) ahead of next year's general elections, the Congress on July 2 said the ruling BJP is raising "divisive and polarising" issues to divert the attention from the failures of its government.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh accused Mr. Modi of working overtime to raise such issues and not addressing the day-to-day concerns of the common man.
"The Prime Minister only diverts and distracts. The Prime Minister works overtime to raise divisive and polarising issues. He never tries to bring a consensus. He never addresses the real day-to-day concerns of people," Mr. Ramesh told reporters here.
