The Daily Guardian|October 22, 2024
The Lok Sabha delimitation exercise may make people think about raising “16 children”, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin said on Monday while referring to a Tamil adage. His comments came just two days after his Andhra Pradesh counterpart N Chandrababu Naidu asked women to have more children to stabilize the population in his state.

Stalin, who was attending a mass marriage event in Chennai, referred to a Tamil saying “pathinarum petru peru vazhvu vazhga,” meaning acquire 16 different kinds of wealth and lead a prosperous life while talking about the census and delimitation process which will redraw the electoral map of India.

“The Parliament delimitation process may encourage the couples to have many children and give up thoughts of a small family. But whatever be the outcome, provide Tamil names to your children,” the CM said after solemnising the marriages of 31 couples at a function held under the aegis of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments department.
