Member of Parliament V. Vijaya Sai Reddy, who is contesting for the Nellore Lok Sabha constituency as the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) candidate, demanded that the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president N. Chandrababu Naidu clears his stand on the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) within the next 24 hours.
Addressing the media at his office here on Saturday, he said that the party owed an explanation to the public ahead of the general elections, in light of its alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that is bent on implementing the UCC upon coming to power.
Highlighting that YSRCP president and Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy had already stated that any law should be implemented only after ensuring consensus among all parties, Mr. Vijaya Sai Reddy demanded that Mr. Naidu also spelt out his stance.
