Home Minister Amit Shah says the government will implement a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in all 21 states governed by the NDA before 2029, according to reports.
The pledge frames UCC as a target for a multi-year political and legislative process across NDA-ruled states. Different outlets emphasize Shah’s political commitment and the timeline, while the details of how the states would draft, legislate, and enforce the code are not consistently specified in the brief reporting provided.
Both accounts attribute the statement to Shah and tie it directly to the 21 NDA-governed states. The emphasis is primarily on the end-date—2029—and the scope of coverage across states, rather than on specific draft language, consultations, or the legal pathway for implementation at the time of the statement.
