Vikramaditya Singh slammed the NDA government for not initiating any action for implementing the Uniform Civil Code earlier.
A day after extending his full support for a Uniform Civil Code and appealing for not politicising the issue, Himachal Pradesh PWD Minister Vikramaditya Singh on Saturday said that raising controversial issues ahead of elections is part of the BJP's strategy.
Addressing reporters in Shimla, Mr Singh said that it is a deliberate effort to divert the attention of the people from core issues such as unemployment and falling growth rate.
Questioning the timing of raising the issue, he said the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which has been in power with full majority for the past nine years, did not initiate any action for implementing the Uniform Civil Code earlier and is now trying to trigger a debate on this issue for electoral gains.
