Jul-07-2026

Rajasthan Urban Development and Self-Governance Minister Jhabar Singh Kharra said that the BJP government in the state may bring a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) bill in the next assembly session and fulfil the administration’s longstanding objective.

The Minister said, ‘Establishing equal civil laws for all citizens has been a longstanding objective, and the current administration is taking decisive measures to materialise it.’ He said the Rajasthan government is actively working towards implementing a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and is considering introducing a bill in the upcoming legislative assembly session, Kharra said.

Kharra said that the Centre has extended the Jal Jeevan Mission duration in the state and released fresh funding follow a direct appeal from Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He added that the move will accelerate clean water access across the state.

Jhabar Singh also asserted that the ruling party is prepared for local body elections and confirmed the state government completed pre-election tasks like boundary expansions and ward delimitation. Referring to the Rajasthan High Court order in the matter, he said the court has affirmed that the state government remains fully competent to alter municipal boundaries and re-delimit wards as required.

Regarding the delay in compiling and releasing the Backward Classes Commission data, Kharra clarified that the administrative delay is ‘strictly due to a shortage of manpower’, as local bodies have been occupied with ongoing census duties and previous SIR responsibilities.
