The big question is: does the BJP have the required numbers to get a legislation on Uniform Civil Code through Parliament?
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's latest pitch for a Uniform Civil Code for all Indians has sparked speculation that the BJP will try to push through a legislation to implement this with an eye on the 2024 general election.
The big question is: does the ruling party have the required numbers to get the legislation through Parliament? Lok Sabha, where the BJP has a clear majority, will be a cakewalk. But what about Rajya Sabha?
A New Possibility
Now, a statement by one of the BJP's bitter rivals, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has opened up a new line of thought. A top leader of the Arvind Kejriwal-led party yesterday said that it supports the demand for a Uniform Civil Code "in principle", but said there must be an attempt to build consensus on the matter through discussions with stakeholders.
