# Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Advocates for Uniform Civil Code Implementation

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has expressed strong support for implementing a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the state. Using a comparative reference, Yadav stated that "if Ramchandra married once, Rahim too should marry once," as part of his pitch for the legislation. The state government plans to introduce a UCC Bill during the upcoming monsoon legislative session.

The push for UCC implementation follows the submission of a committee report that has recommended proceeding with the code. According to the available information, the committee's recommendations propose excluding tribal communities from the scope of the UCC legislation. The chief minister's statements indicate the government views the UCC as a measure aimed at establishing uniform legal standards across religious and community groups in the state.
