While the BJP leaders on Wednesday hailed the passage of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill 2026 in the Gujarat Legislative Assembly, urging for ‘one nation, one Constitution’, the Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) opposed it’s passage, calling it the party’s ‘agenda’. The Gujarat Assembly passed the Bill, introducing a common legal framework for civil matters such as marriage, divorce, maintenance, and inheritance across communities and religions. Speaking outside the Parliament, BJP MP Shashank Mani said, I welcome the Bill. I think there should be ‘one nation and one Constitution’. There should not be two types of civil codes. If Gujarat has done this work, I welcome it, and I believe other states should also adopt it.
