Amit Shah Sets 2029 Deadline for UCC Implementation in BJP-Ruled States

Home Minister Amit Shah has set a 2029 deadline for implementing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) across BJP-ruled states. The announcement comes as part of the party's push to standardize civil laws nationwide.

Maharashtra, a major BJP-governed state, has yet to initiate formal consultations required for UCC rollout. The state will need to begin the consultation process to meet the proposed timeline.

The UCC aims to replace personal laws based on religion with a common set of civil rules applicable to all citizens, a long-standing BJP agenda.
