‘UCC will lead to BJP’s defeat’

SHILLONG, June 30: The contentious Uniform Civil Code which the BJP is determined to implement in the country will lead to their defeat in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Leader of Opposition, Ronnie V. Lyngdoh said on Friday.
Lyngdoh made it clear that the Congress stands opposed to the UCC as it is going to destroy the social fabric of the country besides affecting the tribal way of life, their customary laws, ownership of land and even the unique diversity and characteristics of the country.
According to Lyngdoh, the BJP’s plan of implementing UCC is only meant for electoral gains and an excuse for their misgovernance.
