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.

Mumbai (PTI): Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday condoled Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's death in a plane crash, and said even though the NCP chief chose a different path in politics, he did not let their relationship suffer.

In a post on X, the former chief minister said in Pawar's death, he has lost a steadfast leader and an excellent former cabinet colleague.

As finance minister, Pawar was an extremely disciplined leader with a firm grip on his department, he said.

Ajit Pawar had served as deputy CM in the Uddhav Thackeray-led government from 2019 to 2022.

"We developed a special bond as colleagues. Ajit Pawar was open-hearted. He would speak his mind. He was not someone who held a grudge for long. Even though he chose a different path in politics, he did not let our relationship break," Uddhav Thackeray said.

Pawar broke away from the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance of the Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress in 2023 and joined the BJP-led NDA, a move which split the Nationalist Congress Party.

He was known as a leader who valued his party workers, and he was truly a 'Dada' (elder brother), Thackeray said, as he offered tributes to Ajit Pawar on behalf of the Thackeray family and Shiv Sena (UBT).

His son and former minister Aaditya Thackeray described Pawar's death as shocking. "Words fail me," he said, adding that he had the opportunity to work with Ajit Pawar for five-six years, first in the government and then in the opposition.

"His commanding grip on legislative affairs and his affectionate nature won over many like me. Even when I was in the opposition, I had publicly said this many times," Aaditya said.
