A child is a gift from god and every Hindu should have at least five, two for the man, two for the woman and one surplus, BJP's controversial Uttar Pradesh MLA Surendra Singh has said.
Hindus will become a minority if there is "no balance" in population control, the legislator from Bairia, who earlier this month said rape cannot be curbed even if Lord Ram descends on earth, told reporters on 25 July.
According to him, the Hindu community should be concerned that they will become a minority if there is "no balance in population control" and have more children.
"Hindus will be a minority, not due to terrorists but due to themselves," he said. Singh's statements have often put the state's ruling BJP in an embarrassing spot.
"The BJP government has not been able to give a transparent government," the MLA had said.
He had also endorsed the view of senior JD(U) leader KC Tyagi that the rising prices of petrol and diesel were responsible for the BJP's defeat in the by-elections.
Before that, Singh had said the 2019 Lok Sabha elections would be an "Islam vs Bhagwan" battle.
