Now TMC to focus on Haryana youth
Jhajjar, February 28 Satish Tyagi, state chief of Intellectual Task Force of the TMC, stated this while interacting with mediapersons at Bahadurgarh. The move aims at grooming the youth leaders to ensure their active contribution in politics to raise the burning issues like unemployment, education, sports, etc which are directly associated with youth. “Dynastic rule in politics in Haryana is not letting the common youth attain any significance slot in politics. Therefore, elections to student unions are deliberately not being conducted by the state government to keep the budding youth leaders away from political system,” said Tyagi. The TMC had decided to field its youth candidates at 50 out of 90 assembly constituencies in the next assembly polls of the state scheduled to be conducted in 2014, he maintained. Teams of the TMC will soon start visiting colleges and universities in the state to inspire the youths for their active participation in the politics to get vital national issues resolved by mounting pressure on the state as well union governments, said Tyagi. Youth-related issues like unemployment could not be sorted out without significance contribution of youths in politics, he said. He maintained that a large number of prospective youth leaders had exhibited their leadership skill during the recent movement of civil society against corruption. The TMC will motivate youths to join active politics akin to other professions. Training camps would also be carried out to develop leadership qualities among the youths, Tyagi said.
