December 1, 2022, 11:59 am

After a two-day hiatus, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will return to the Gujarat campaign trail for the second round of the state assembly elections with a three-hour mega roadshow covering 16 assembly districts.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) claims that this massive event will span a distance of more than 50 kilometres, beginning at the Naroda Gam and terminating at the Gandhinagar South constituency. PM Modi is slated to make at least 35 stops at the memorials of notable individuals, including Pandit Dindayal Upadhyay, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, during his roadshow, which is anticipated to start at 3:30 pm and last until 6:30 pm on Thursday.

The Prime Minister’s campaign tour is anticipated to pass through 16 assembly districts that vote in the second round of the Gujarat election on December 5.

Some of the constituencies the prime minister will visit during his roadshow are Thakkarbapanagar, Bapunagar, Nikol, Amraiwadi, Maninagar, Danilimbda, Jamalpur Khadia, Elisbridge, Vejalpur, Ghatlodia, Naranpur, and Sabarmati.

Bhupendra Patel, the BJP candidate for chief minister, is running from the Ghatlodia seat.

It’s interesting to note that voting for the first phase of the Gujarat election is taking place while the prime minister canvasses for the second phase.

From 2001 to 2014, Gujarat’s longest-serving chief minister was Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

This time, the party led by PM Modi, Amit Shah, and CR Paatil hopes to win more than 140 seats, which would be a record.

Ahead of elections, Gujarat creates panel to implement UCC

October 29, 2022, 5:05 pm

Bhupendra Patel, the chief minister of Gujarat, declared on Saturday that a committee would be formed to implement the Uniform Civil Code in the state before elections. Gujarat has now made the announcement, joining Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand as states governed by the Bharatiya Janata Party.

“Under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi & Union HM Amit Shah, CM Bhupendra Patel has taken a historic decision in the cabinet meeting today – of forming a committee for implementing the Uniform Civil Code in the state”, Gujarat home minister Harsh Sanghavi said.

The UCC is a plan to create and enforce personal laws for citizens that will be applicable to every Indian regardless of caste, religion, or sexual orientation.

The Bharatiya Janata Party’s top election concern has been the Uniform Civil Code. In its 2019 Lok Sabha election campaign, the saffron party pledged that if elected to power, it would implement the UCC. The UCC has been dubbed “anti-minority” by its critics.
