Be ‘Baby-worthy’ Nation First !

Last week the Chief Ministers of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu urged youngsters in their respective States to have more children. One said, have more than two, the other said have 16!
But why? Vote bank.
The remarks came after reports that the BJP-led Central government was planning to redraw Lok Sabha Constituencies based on population which may see Southern States lose some seats and Northern States gain.
That said, the Southern States should force the Centre to take a different approach rather than calling for a ‘baby boom’ and incentivising it.
