Youngsters without political background entering politics will strengthen democracy: PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his 'Mann Ki Baat' broadcast, called for youth without political backgrounds to join politics for a developed India. He discussed the positive reactions from youngsters and their enthusiasm. Modi also praised India...
Countless people from all walks of life joined the freedom movement even though they had no political background, he noted.
"They devoted themselves entirely to India's independence. Today, to achieve the vision of a Viksit Bharat, we need to rekindle that same spirit once again," he said.
A large number of young people are willing to join politics, and all they need is right opportunity and guidance, he said.
Modi said youngsters have written to him and reacted on social media to his call. They have noted that family politics suppresses new talent, he added.
During the programme, Modi spoke to several young entrepreneurs helming different space start-ups as they highlighted their work. They praised the growing vibrant space eco system in the country.
The prime minister said the youth of the country has benefitted a lot from various reforms in the space sector.
On the occasion, he noted that India celebrated its first National Space Day on August 23 to mark the first anniversary of the successful landing of its spacecraft on the Moon.
Highlighting works of different organisations and people in improving environment, he batted for collective efforts in the field.
