Uttarakhand Chief Minister, Pushkar Singh Dhami, has lashed out at the Congress party, labeling their manifesto as reminiscent of the “ideology of the Muslim League.” Accusing the Congress of indulging in ‘appeasement politics’ to secure votes, Dhami asserted that the people of Bharat are now rejecting such tactics.
In an interview with ANI, Dhami expressed his disapproval of the Congress’ proposal to implement Muslim Personal Law, citing it as evidence of their appeasement mindset. He emphasized that while the nation is advancing towards empowerment, the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), and bolstering women’s security, the Congress remains stuck in outdated strategies of appeasement and vote bank politics.

Highlighting the progressive stance of the country under PM Modi’s leadership, Dhami stated that the populace is moving away from such appeasement tactics. He underscored the importance of initiatives such as the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), which was recently passed in the Uttarakhand Assembly, making it the first state in Bharat to implement such legislation.
The Uttarakhand Chief Minister’s criticism comes in the wake of the Congress party’s manifesto release in Delhi. The manifesto primarily focuses on job creation, infrastructure development, and promises a caste census, echoing a major demand following Bihar’s recent caste survey. Additionally, the manifesto pledges support for farmers through a minimum support price and universal free healthcare.
The passage of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill 2024 in Uttarakhand earlier this year marks a significant milestone in the state’s legal framework. The bill aims to regulate laws related to marriage, divorce, successions, and live-in relationships, among other matters. This move reinforces the state’s commitment to progressive legislation and sets a precedent for other regions to follow suit.
As political discourse continues to evolve, the clash between differing ideologies underscores the need for inclusive and forward-thinking policies. While parties like the Congress focus on traditional strategies, leaders like Pushkar Singh Dhami advocate for a progressive agenda aligned with the aspirations of a changing Bharat. The outcome of this ideological tug-of-war will undoubtedly shape the political landscape in the days to come.
