At an election rally in Jangipur, located in the Muslim-majority Murshidabad district of West Bengal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised to implement a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) comes to power. He described the UCC as a necessary measure to end the 'politics of appeasement' and to maintain the demographic balance in the state. Modi's remarks came shortly after the BJP released its election manifesto, which pledges to implement the UCC within six months of assuming office. He criticized the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) for allegedly abandoning its original slogan of 'Maa-Mati-Manush' and accused it of relying on the votes of 'infiltrators'. Modi emphasized that the upcoming election is crucial for preserving West Bengal's identity, citing rapid demographic changes as a significant concern. Furthermore, he condemned the TMC for its handling of violence during recent Ram Navami celebrations, contrasting it with peaceful observances in other parts of India. Modi warned that those involved in corruption would face consequences if the BJP gains power.
