  • Madhya Pradesh Assembly passed Uniform Civil Code Bill 2026.
  • State became fourth in India to implement UCC legislation.
  • Opposition Congress protested bill and CM’s land allegations.

The Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday has unanimously passed the Uniform Civil Code Bill 2026, becoming the fourth in India after Uttarakhand, Gujarat, and Assam to implement such legislation.

After the Madhya Pradesh Assembly passed the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill by voice vote amid protests by the Opposition Congress, CM Yadav said, “The country’s most populous state has now implemented the UCC. I extend my congratulations. The Congress’s double standards have once again been exposed. For the Congress, Hindus and Muslims are viewed through two different lenses as vote banks, and the party will pay the price for it. The Congress has already disappeared from more than 80 per cent of the country’s geographical area, and it will continue to pay the price for this.”
