Lucknow: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday criticised the BJP over its demand for a Uniform Civil Code (UCC), calling it an issue being used to divert public attention from other concerns.

Yadav took a dig at the BJP by giving a different expansion of UCC, calling it "Underground Communal Conspiracy".
He said the BJP should first fulfil its earlier promises of depositing Rs 15 lakh in every bank account and providing two crore jobs before coming up with what he described as a new "jumla".
