The application of the Uniform Civil Code was amongst the crucial pledges made by the BJP in its manifesto for the West Bengal Assembly elections.
Introducing a sharp attack on the Trinamool Congress (TMC), Adhikari even more declared that the previous federal government promoted appeasement, corruption and nepotism, and pressed the state in reverse.
He even more declared that the previous federal government had actually never ever revealed issue for nationalism and patriotism, including that with a nationalist federal government now in power, “whatever will be done.”
“The previous government’s work was appeasement, corruption, nepotism, and taking Bengal backwards… Nationalism, patriotism… all these things were not on their agenda. Now that a nationalist government has come to power, everything will be done, said Adhikari.
Earlier on June 12, while addressing the media, Adhikari detailed several development projects, welfare schemes, and national security initiatives implemented under PM Modi’s leadership.
“We will work under Modi ji’s management and assistance, with his true blessings; even in this brief duration, we have actually currently achieved some work. The general public has actually begun to see the advantages of the ‘double-engine’ federal government, and these advantages will end up being much more obvious in the days to come,” he stated.
