Chennai:
In a sarcastic jab at the Centre’s delimitation plans, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has urged newlyweds to plan families soon after they marry so that the state gets an advantage when the delimitation exercise is held.
Addressing an event at Nagapattinam, Mr Stalin said he would earlier ask newlyweds to take their time before they plan a family. “But now with schemes such as delimitation that the Union Government is planning to implement, we cannot say that. We focussed on family planning but we were pushed into a situation such as this. So I would now urge newlyweds to immediately have babies and give them good Tamil names,” he said.
