Telangana BJP Finds UCC Helpful To Divert Attention From Ruptures: Asad Owaisi Already Started Campaign Against UCC

Hyderabad, July 9 (Maxim News): AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi has already started campaigning for the Assembly elections by addressing public meetings in various parts of Telangana, he is raising the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) as the key issue to launch a counter-attack on the BJP.

It may be recalled that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strong pitch for the Uniform Civil Code has brought the controversial issue to the center stage of Indian politics. The issue is likely to generate a lot of political heat in Telangana, where the Assembly elections are due to be held later this year.

The UCC has been one of the three key issues on the BJP’s agenda since its inception. After its success in building Ram Temple at Ayodhya and scrapping Article 370, the saffron party now has its eyes set on the third goal.

Whether the country will ultimately agree to the UCC given the vast diversity of religious, ethnic, regional, and linguistic groups across the states and their practices is debatable but political observers say the BJP clearly senses the huge electoral benefits it can yield from the high emotive issue.

with elections in several states, including Telangana due this year followed by general elections in 2024, BJP is likely to go all out to capitalize on the ‘polarising issue”. Political analysts say the saffron party which suffered a big jolt with the defeat in Karnataka Assembly elections, desperately needed an emotive issue to whip up sentiments and thus lift the sagging morale of its rank and file.
