Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar said on Monday that merely framing a law would not serve any purpose as far as the issue of population control is concerned. He stressed the need for proper education and awareness among women to achieve the objective.
When asked about his views on the draft bill, Nitish Kumar told reporters in Patna,"It's not possible to ensure population control with a law."
Nitish Kumar started holding Janta Darbar in 2006 after becoming the Chief Minister of Bihar. He discontinued Janta Darbar in 2016.

Sushil Kumar Modi, who was the face of the BJP in Bihar politics for a long time, was once again sidelined by the party as he was denied a berth in the recent Union Cabinet in the reshuffle by the Modi government.
Notably, Chirag had opened a front against Kumar ahead of the assembly elections last year when he claimed that people of the state were yearning for a change in leadership.
From the JD-U, only Ram Chandra Prasad Singh (RCP Singh) was inducted and given the steel ministry, but Nitish Kumar did not congratulate him publicly on social media.
The JDU has 16 MPs in the Lok Sabha and the BJP 17 MPs from Bihar. The party argues that it should be given four berths.
The Bihar government has eased Covid restrictions in the state as the situation continues to improve. The government has decided that universities, schools and colleges will reopen with 50 per cent attendance.

Madan Sahni, who represents Bahadurpur constituency in Bihar Assembly, said he was not even satisfied with the house or car that have been provided to him.
"Our first choice will be to contest as part of the BJP-led NDA and we hope it works out. We have had old presence in UP since the days of the erstwhile Samata Party, though we did not contest in 2017," said JDU secretary KC Tyagi
Chirag also said that he expected his alliance Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to reach out during the current crisis, but BJP's silence is unexpected for him. "If Hanuman (Chirag Paswan) has to seek help from Ram (PM Narendra Modi), then it's unfortunate. I expect Ram should play a role to solve the political crisis faced by hanuman" Paswan said
Janata Dal (United) MLA Gopal Mandal has said that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's 'real chair' is in Delhi and called him is a 'PM material'.
On rumours of Cabinet expansion, the Chief Minister who is on a personal visit to New Delhi, said that it all depends on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He said that his party has also written to the Election Commission, urging it to stop the Paras-headed faction from using its symbol and flag in its meeting.
Lok Janshakti Party leader Chirag Paswan on Wednesday blamed Janata Dal (United) for engineering the split in his party and rejected the decisions taken by the faction headed by his uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras, saying the party's constitution does not authorise them any such power.
