The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday released its manifesto for the 2026 Assam Assembly elections, promising a Uniform Civil Code and increasing the monthly direct bank transfer under the Orunodoi scheme to Rs 3,000 for women.
Listing 31 promises, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that the BJP aims to make Assam the "brightest
state".
Following the footsteps of Uttarakhand and Gujarat, and tapping into the BJP's core agenda, the Chief Minister promised a Uniform Civil Code and action against the alleged "love jihad".
The UCC, he said, will exclude areas under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution and will not be implemented on tribal communities.
