Agartala: Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Monday said that the BJP-ruled state is ready to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) if the Centre issues a direction in this regard.
The chief minister's statement came a day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said the BJP-led NDA governments in 21 states will introduce the UCC before 2029. The next Lok Sabha polls are scheduled to be held in that year.
