UCC Implementation Fulfills BJP’s Key Promise Ahead of 2022 Assembly Victory

The law’s implementation was a major commitment of the BJP in the run-up to the 2022 Assembly polls which saw the party storm to power for a second consecutive term, something never done by any other party in the state since its creation in 2000.

Dhami had even attributed the historic mandate to the party’s commitment to passing the UCC.

As soon as Dhami formed the government again in March 2022, the state Cabinet at its very first meeting chaired by him cleared a proposal for the formation of an expert committee to draft the law.
