Rajasthan Scraps Two-Child Policy for Local Body Election Candidates

Rajasthan Scraps Two-Child Policy for Local Body Election Candidates

Imagine there's a rule in some towns in Rajasthan that says if you have more than two kids, you can't run for a local job like mayor or town council.

This rule was made a long time ago to try and slow down how fast the population was growing.

But now, the government thinks this rule isn't fair and stops good people from being leaders just because of their family size.

So, they are planning to get rid of this rule.

This means more people, even those with three or more children, will be able to ask people to vote for them in local elections.

This could lead to more choices for voters and more people involved in making decisions for their towns.
