Bihar’s JD(U) says it opposes implementing a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the state, even though the party has backed the UCC-related bill in India’s Parliament. The party’s position is framed as a matter of state-level policy, with JD(U) indicating it does not want the UCC imposed in Bihar.
The two outlets describe the same core contradiction: JD(U) supports the legislative move at the national level but rejects implementation at the state level. India Today reports JD(U)’s denial of UCC implementation in Bihar despite its earlier backing of the bill in Parliament. Times of India similarly highlights JD(U)’s opposition to implementation while noting its parliamentary support, underscoring the difference between voting for the bill and endorsing its application in Bihar.
Together, the reports present a consistent picture of JD(U)’s stance: the party distinguishes between actions in Parliament and what it is willing to support locally in Bihar.
