Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday promised to implement the Uniform Civil Code in West Bengal to end what he called the “politics of appeasement”, while asserting that the BJP would not let Bengalis become a minority in the state.
Addressing a rally at Jangipur in Muslim-majority Murshidabad district, Modi said the BJP’s election manifesto, released by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday, is a roadmap to end TMC’s ‘Mahajungleraj’ in West Bengal.
“The nation’s security is of paramount importance to us. The BJP resolves to implement UCC in West Bengal to end the politics of appeasement forever,” Modi said. His remarks came a day after the state BJP, in its manifesto, promised to implement the UCC within six months if it comes to power. Attacking the TMC, he said that the people of the state have not forgotten how the “ruling party in the state stood by the culprits of the RG Kar rape and murder incident”.
