But this should not be introduced because of the impending election, Sanjay Raut said. As Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar has opposed the bill, Raut said the BJP should withdraw its support of the Nitish Kumar government if Nitish Kumar opposes the legislation. "Due to illegal migration (from neighbouring Bangladesh), the population demography has changed in Assam, West Bengal and Bihar," Raut wrote. "Hindutvawadis who wanted Hindus to give birth to four or five children to counter the growing population of Muslims are bringing the population control bill. In an addendum, Sanjay Raut poked fun at Lok Sabha MP Ravi Kishan who will introduce a private bill on population control for discussion in the monsoon session.
