"They formed a committee after winning the Uttarakhand elections, now that has disappeared," Arvind Kejriwal said.
Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal, in Gujarat to campaign for upcoming assembly elections, today said that the BJP is bluffing on implementing a Uniform Civil Code in Gujarat.
Casting doubt on the BJP-led state government's intent, the AAP chief said the ruling party made the same promise ahead of the Uttarakhand assembly elections but didn't implement it after winning the polls.
"They formed a committee after winning the Uttarakhand elections, now that has disappeared," he said, claiming that they have now formed a committee "three days before Gujarat elections" which will also disappear after the polls.
At a press conference in Bhavnagar, Mr Kejriwal said that a Uniform Civil Code should be enforced, as Article 44 of the Constitution clearly states that it is the responsibility of the government to do so, but it should be done with the consent of and in consultation with all communities.
