Bengaluru, Nov 26: Basavaraj Bommai, the Karnataka chief minister, stated on Saturday that his administration is “seriously” considering implementing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the state to uphold equality.
On the occasion of Constitution Day, he told the media in the state capital that “his government was very seriously considering implementing the UCC as it was part of the main manifesto of the BJP at the national level.”
Bommai claims that before making a decision, the state administration is considering the various committees established in other states to implement the UCC.
The CM claimed that the preamble of the constitution mentions equality and fraternity while speaking to BJP supporters in Shivamogga.
He reaffirmed his commitment to putting the UCC into action by saying, “We have been discussing the Uniform Civil Code since Deendayal Upadhyay’s time. State and national policy are being seriously considered. When the moment is right, it will also be put into practise. I would like to declare very clearly that we would take all strong means to achieve it. We will not only expound things we believe in that will make people’s welfare feasible and promote equality, but we also do it in a clear and concise manner.”
