Jaipur, July 8 -- Rajasthan Congress president Govind Singh Dotasra on Tuesday intensified the party's attack on the BJP-led state government over its proposed Uniform Civil Code (UCC) consultations, alleging that the exercise is aimed at creating communal polarisation and diverting public attention from pressing governance issues such as water scarcity, electricity, unemployment, healthcare and law and order. Dotasra alleged that the BJP wanted to disturb the peace in a traditionally peaceful state like Rajasthan by using the UCC as a political tool. Addressing a press conference at the Congress war room in Jaipur, Dotasra questioned the rationale behind the government's ongoing public consultations, claiming that no draft of the proposed UCC had been prepared or made public. "If there is no draft of the Uniform Civil Code, what exactly are these public hearings being held for?" he asked, alleging that the BJP was using the issue to create religious polarisation for political gains. He also questioned the composition of the committee conducting the consultations, alleging that several of its members had links to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). According to Dotasra, the committee was inviting only like-minded individuals, collecting their opinions and portraying the exercise as a broad-based public consultation while excluding opposition parties and the general public. "This government wants to introduce the UCC without even preparing a draft. In the name of public hearings, the committee is consulting only people aligned with its ideology and presenting it as public opinion. The opposition and ordinary citizens have no role in the process," he alleged. Warning the government against proceeding without first releasing the draft legislation, Dotasra said the Congress would boycott the UCC consultations if they continued in their present form. He further claimed that the same committee had been involved in UCC-related consultations in Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal and Rajasthan. "If the Centre has constituted one committee for multiple states, why doesn't it introduce a Uniform Civil Code for the entire country instead?" he asked. The Congress leader also accused the BJP of seeking a two-thirds majority to amend the Constitution and alleged that the party was attempting to weaken constitutional safeguards, secular values and democratic institutions. Accusing the BJP of pursuing divisive politics, he alleged that the ruling party was attempting to create communal tensions for electoral gains instead of addressing issues such as farmers' income, employment and economic development. He also claimed that the BJP was trying to weaken opposition parties through political defections and asserted that the Congress would continue its statewide agitation against the government's policies in the run-up to the 2028 Rajasthan Assembly elections. Responding to the allegations, BJP chief spokesperson Ram Lal Sharma defended the party's position, saying the BJP acts solely in the national interest. "The BJP will do whatever is in the national interest. We have never indulged in regional or religious politics, nor have we promoted anti-social organisations for political gains, unlike the Congress." "The Congress has consistently opposed decisions taken in the national interest. In reality, it is the Congress that practices appeasement politics, and its leaders are uncomfortable because that politics is being challenged," Sharma said....
