Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that discussions around the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and ‘One Nation, One Election’ are moving forward, describing them as key pending priorities.
Speaking virtually at an event marking the BJP’s foundation day on April 6, 2026, the Prime Minister said both initiatives are under serious consideration. “Our mission is still ongoing. On UCC and ‘One Nation, One Election’, serious discussions are taking place in the country and we are moving in positive directions on them,” he stated.
The ‘One Nation, One Election’ proposal aims to conduct Lok Sabha and state assembly elections simultaneously. The Uniform Civil Code seeks to establish a common set of laws governing areas such as marriage and adoption for all citizens.
During his address, Mr. Modi also criticised the Congress, stating that BJP workers had faced hardships, including the Emergency and alleged oppression. He added that several party workers had sacrificed their lives in states like West Bengal and Kerala, “where violence has been turned into a political culture”.
The Prime Minister said the BJP has consistently worked to address national challenges and deliver results. “The end of hundreds of black laws from the British era, the construction of a new Parliament building for democracy, 10% reservation for the poor in the general category, a law to ban triple talaq, Citizenship Amendment Act, the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya… there are countless such works that are the result of the BJP’s honest efforts,” he said.
He also emphasised the emotional connection between the party and its workers. “That is why the party’s foundation day is not just a political event. It is an emotional occasion for every workers. This day gives us an opportunity to express our gratitude to the party for giving us the chance to serve the nation,” he added.
