Maharashtra CM Fadnavis defends UCC move, cites Constitution

Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis defended the Mahayuti government's UCC draft plan, saying the Constitution's Directive Principles mandate states to implement it. Responding to AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi's 'unconstitutional' claim, Fadnavis said Owaisi had misread the Constitution. On NCP merger talks, he said neither Sharad nor Sunetra Pawar's faction has informed BJP of any such move.
