[Two-Kid Norm For Candidates]:
When Gujarat's civic bodies go to the polls next month, those whose third child was born after March 23, 2005, will not be eligible to contest. This was the date when the two-child norm came into force. The nomination forms issued by the collectorate for the elections will have a clause barring those having more than two children from contesting the municipal polls.
Who takes note and accounts for all those born 'out of wedlock'? Seems to be a rule implemented as a convenience and tool for easy election to a civic body office. The cynic in me observes, especially on all things 'Power' related in India.
