Positive discussions underway on Uniform Civil Code, 'One Nation, One Election': PM Modi

PM Modi highlights positive discussions on Uniform Civil Code and 'One Nation, One Election' as key BJP agendas.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday (April 6, 2026) flagged the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and ‘One Nation, One Election’ as two unfinished agendas of the BJP, and said serious and positive discussions are taking place on them.

Addressing virtually in an event on the BJP's foundation day, Mr. Modi also targeted the Congress and said BJP workers endured many hardships like Emergency and also oppression under the grand old party.

He said many BJP workers have even sacrificed their lives as was witnessed in States like West Bengal and Kerala, "where violence has been turned into a political culture".

"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 said.

'One Nation, One Election' system proposes to hold polls for assembly and Lok Sabha simultaneously. The UCC seeks to create same set of laws for everyone regarding marriage, adoption etc. across the country.

Mr. Modi said the nation knows that the BJP is sincerely striving to face every challenge and will continue to do so and positive results have been achieved before, and they will be achieved in the future as well.
