With the construction of a Ram Temple in Ayodhya all but completed and Article 370 diluted, the third big core issue of the BJP — the implementation of a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) as a tool for “gender equality” — and the idea of a “One Nation, One Election” have gained prominence in the BJP manifesto.
With its ideological to-do list now much lighter, the UCC and the issue of simultaneous elections are likely to be the new tasks around which the BJP will mobilise.
Both UCC and another important issue, “One Nation, One Election” find mention in the section on “Modi’s Guarantee on Good Governance” within the manifesto, which points to the two issues being a major part of any government formed by the BJP going ahead.
