Bihar BJP president Sanjay Saraogi said Gujarat will implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), describing it as the second state after Uttarakhand to take this step. He made the remarks in Patna while discussing the reported approval for the measure.
Saraogi said President Droupadi Murmu had signed for the implementation of the UCC in Gujarat. His statement presented the development as a move linked to the constitutional principle of equality.
What Sanjay Saraogi said
According to Saraogi, the UCC is not directed against any religion. He said its purpose is to establish equality for all, while accusing some political actors of viewing the issue through the perspective of vote-bank politics.
The Uniform Civil Code refers to a common framework for personal laws. In his remarks, Saraogi did not provide details about the provisions, implementation date or administrative process for Gujarat.
Gujarat and Uttarakhand comparison
Saraogi identified Uttarakhand as the first state and Gujarat as the second to implement the UCC. His statement did not provide further details about the earlier implementation in Uttarakhand or explain how Gujarat’s process would operate.
The remarks also did not include a response from the Gujarat government, opposition parties or other organisations. The available information records Saraogi’s position and his description of the presidential approval.
Why the statement matters
The UCC remains a politically significant issue because it concerns the application of common personal-law provisions across communities. Saraogi framed Gujarat’s reported move as an equality measure rather than one aimed at a particular faith.
No timeline or next procedural step was provided in the statement. Further official information would be needed to establish the detailed rules and schedule for implementation in Gujarat.
Conclusion
Sanjay Saraogi said Gujarat will follow Uttarakhand in implementing the UCC after President Droupadi Murmu’s reported approval, while presenting the measure as a constitutional equality initiative.
