Senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Ajit Pawar has said that people who go on to have more than two children should not be given any concessions, and even legislators in such cases should be made ineligible to contest elections.
India’s population is projected to surpass China in terms of population growth, Mr. Pawar said while speaking at an event in Baramati on April 23.
"My grandfather used to tell me that when we got independence, our population was 35 crore and now it has reached 142 crore, and for that, we are all responsible," the Leader of Opposition in the State legislative Assembly said.
