BJP using Uniform Civil Code as political ploy: Mamata Banerjee
Jangipur: The West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has said that the BJP is using the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) as a political ploy ahead of the Lok Sabha elections and Hindus will not benefit from it.
According to Kashmir Media Service, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee speaking at a rally in the minority-dominated Jangipur constituency in Murshidabad district, accused the BJP of resorting to divisive tactics in the face of anticipated defeat in the initial phases of polling.
“Whenever there are elections, they use one issue or the other to flare up communal tensions. This time BJP are talking about the UCC and are propagating that it is against a particular community mostly Muslims. But this UCC is nothing but political rhetoric and Hindus in no way will benefit from it,” she said.
“After witnessing the voting pattern and percentage in the first two phases, we can confidently say that the BJP has lost. In the remaining five phases too, they will face a rout. Fear and panic have gripped the BJP. The rout of the saffron camp is only a matter of time,” she said.
