On the question about ‘Uniform Civil Code’ Fadnavis said, “There is a need to apply a ‘Uniform Civil Code’ in Maharashtra. Goa has already implanted the decision and Uttarakhand also going to do the same. Constitution gave the responsibility to the states in the Directive Principle of State Policy.”

He further said, “There is a lot of misunderstandings about the UCC. Reservation were not going to harm by the UCC. We have various types of laws but there is need to One Nation, One Law… Dr. B. R. Ambedkar also expected this. Dr. Ambedkar wrote in the constitution that states will try to bring Uniform Civil Code. We haven’t brought it in our state but it will come…”

Ratnakar Mahajan, veteran leader of Congress told us, “Fadnavis always made a fancy statement to get attention. RSS always mislead people about the UCC. BJP ruling in nine states then why they don’t take initiative to apply the law?”

“to hide the failure of government they made such statements, “He Further said.

AAP leader Dhananjay Shinde said, “we have to take people’s opinion to apply the UCC or not. The role of Fadanavis is questionable. He misguides people by its statement. BJP is ruling from last eight years then why they didn’t apply the UCC in The States where they rule.”

NCP Spokesperson Ravikant Varpe said, “there is no need to apply the UCC in Maharashtra. BJP always against the Indian Constitution that’s why they are planning to bring UCC in the state.”
