CHIKKAMAGALURU: BJP may soon launch an initiative to seek suggestions from the public in Karnataka on the implementation of population control policy, which is being put in place by Uttar Pradesh.
BJP national general secretary CT Ravi on Saturday said the party will seek public opinion before its plans implementation of the policy’s UP model in Karnataka.
He said citizens’ opinion is important in a democracy. “If people are in favour of the law, the government should do this. This is not an era of emergency to implement a law forcefully. BJP believes in the Constitution and democracy,” Ravi added.
He said the state’s population has crossed the 7 crore mark. “The country’s population has touched 140 crore. Uttar Pradesh and Assam have taken steps to adopt the new policy. Karnataka will also follow suit,” Ravi said.
