Riling up sentiments, Sarma also said that the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) will be passed in his state Assam by February, after which no one would be “allowed to have more than one wife”.  With the UCC, a man has to legally divorce his wife to get married to another woman, he added.

He also emphasised that this initiative has support even within the Muslim community.

The BJP in its manifesto of Telangana, promised to implement the UCC, if elected to power in the State. Union Minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah has also said recently that, “Once BJP will form the government in the State, it will bring the UCC within six months.”
