RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has called for Indian families to have at least three children to prevent population decline, citing the importance of maintaining a fertility rate above 2.1 for societal survival. Speaking in Nagpur, he warned that societies with lower fertility rates risk extinction. Bhagwat’s comments have sparked political debate, especially in Bihar, where population control and caste-based census issues are sensitive. Critics argue his statement conflicts with the government’s population control policies.
Opposition parties in Bihar have criticized RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s remarks on promoting larger families. RJD spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari questioned the contradictions within BJP and RSS’ stance on population control, while JD(U) spokesperson Arvind Nishad urged Bhagwat to consult BJP leaders before making such statements. Nishad also highlighted Bihar CM Nitish Kumar’s focus on women’s education as a key strategy for population control, contrasting it with Bhagwat’s call for more children.
