Days after the formation of a new government in the state, Rajasthan minister Babulal Kharadi has encouraged people to consider having more children, assuring them that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will facilitate housing for them. Serving as the tribal area development minister in the state, Kharadi expressed that it aligns with the Prime Minister's vision that everyone should have access to food and shelter, ensuring that no one goes to bed hungry or without a roof over their head.
He made these remarks while addressing a public meeting in Udaipur on Tuesday. Kharadi has eight children -- four sons and as many daughters -- from two wives. The entire family lives in Neechla Thala village, about three kilometres from Kotda tehsil of Udaipur.
"It is a dream of the Prime Minister that no one should sleep hungry and without a roof over their head. You give birth to lots of children. Pradhan Mantriji will build your houses, then what is the problem?" Kharadi stated.
