Controversial BJP MP blames Congress for him having four kids, video viral
New Delhi: BJP MP Ravi Kishan is once again in the headlines after he blamed the Congress party for having four kids while demanding a bill in the Parliament that would limit two kids for a family in the country.
Speaking at a conclave organized by India Today Group, the actor-turned politician Kishan said he would have limited his kids if the Congress party had invoked the bill in the parliament when they were in power at the Centre.
Kishan while speaking at the conclave said he feels sorry for the affairs of the country due to population explosion. When the presenter questioned him and said people would say that he made his own kids and now he is batting for limiting the number of kids per family.
“If the Congress had introduced this bill earlier, I would have stopped.” The MP said.
Kishan’s reply received sharp reactions by politicians, activists and journalists who criticized him over his remarks.

SC seeks clarification from EC on functioning of EVMs, calls poll panel official at 2 pm
New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Wednesday sought clarification from the Election Commission on certain aspects regarding the functioning of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), and summoned a senior poll panel official at 2 pm.
A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta, which has reserved its verdict on a batch of pleas seeking complete cross-verification of votes cast using EVMs with Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT), said it needs clarification on certain aspects as there was some confusion in answers given by the EC in its 'frequently asked questions' (FAQs) on EVMs.
"We don’t want to be wrong but doubly sure in our findings and hence we thought of seeking the clarification," the bench told Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati who was appearing for the EC.
It asked Bhati to call senior Deputy Election Commissioner Nitesh Kumar Vyas at 2 PM. Vyas had earlier given a presentation to the court on the functioning of the EVMs.
It flagged some points on which the court wanted clarification which relates to storage of EVMs, microchip in the controlling unit of EVMs and other aspects.
The VVPAT is an independent vote verification system which enables electors to see whether their votes have been cast correctly.
On April 18, the top court reserved its verdict on the batch of pleas.
