New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president JP Nadda on Monday launched his ‘Praja Dhwani’ manifesto for the Karnataka assembly polls in Bengaluru, which includes the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the state.
In its manifesto, the ruling party said it would form a high-level committee on the implementation of the UCC. Based on the committee’s recommendations, the party builds its further strategy on this.
The saffron party mentioned that it will introduce National Register of Citizens (NRC) in ‘Praja Dhwani’.
Apart from this, the BJP has promised to improve the “ease of living” in the big city of Bengaluru, where renting apartments is an uphill battle.
The party will form an advisory committee on the welfare of Karnataka residents to reform the Karnataka Housing Act, 1972 and modernize the grievance redressal mechanism.

“We are developing Bengaluru for the next generation by designating it as a ‘State Capital Region’ and implementing a comprehensive technology-led urban development program with a focus on enabling ease of living, connected transport networks and ecosystems to make Bengaluru a global hub let’s do it. Digital innovation,” he added.
Attack on Congress
The BJP chief accused the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government of exploiting the state’s resources and letting criminal elements run “rampant”.
Siddaramaiah’s government was a completely backward government; he looted the natural resources, let the criminal and anti-social elements run amok and appeased a section of the society to consolidate his vote bank!
