Nadda's promise as an "election gimmick", the Congress on Saturday said the ruling party raises such issues only before elections. Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi, while answering a question related to the UCC, said that his party will support the process of reaching a consensus and this consensus is visible to a large extent.
He, however, clarified that his party will not support statements aimed at fooling people. Singhvi's remarks at a press conference at the Congress headquarters came hours after Nadda's statement in which the BJP president said a committee would be formed to implement the UCC if his party comes to power in the state.
Singhvi said, "JP Nadda's party is in power at the national level and at the state level for eight years and five years respectively. We are very happy to hear your statement Nadda, but why didn't you do something (for this) for the last eight years and five years respectively? When he (Nadda) answers this question, we will also give you the answer.
Emphasizing on the issue, he said that everyone understands "election gimmicks" and when there is a lack of votes, then religion and such promises are remembered.
