BJP MP and Bhojpuri actor Ravi Kishan said the other day that the UPA government is responsible for his having more than two kids. He alleged that the Congress party failed to bring in a population control legislation, letting people like him have more than two kids.

"I would have stopped had the Congress passed a population control law while in power at the Centre," he has been quoted as saying.

Netizens are reminding him that the 'Hum Do Hamara Do' campaign has been around for decades. The persuasion model is sought to be replaced with coercion model with the introduction of a population control law.

It's silly on the part of anyone to say that he or she would do the "right thing" only and only if the government tells them to. If something feels right, one would do it without external imposition.

Anchor: You are proposing the population control bill but you have more than 2 children. How do you respond to this allegation?
