Vivek Tankha, Congress' Rajya Sabha Member, recently highlighted the need for a young Prime Minister in India. He spoke about how other countries have youth Prime Ministers in the age range of 35 to 40 years, but India lags behind when it comes to giving responsible positions to the youth.
"The old will be old and young will be young. Youth from each section of society should be brought to the fore. If candidates are selected on the basis of tradition and factions then the parties will be left behind," said Tankha.
Tankha also pointed out that the BJP is lagging behind due to the lack of youth energy in the party. "BJP has tried to give youth shape to its old leaders without knowing the old can’t be turned younger anymore," he said.
Moreover, he added that he is trying to show a direction of progress to the country but he does not wish to contest in any elections. He further accused other parties of not having ideologies in accordance with the public sentiments.
"The country needs progressive youth thought process. In other countries of the world, Prime Ministers are aged between 35-40. We can see that the age of achievers in the world has been reduced. We lag behind because of this age perception prevailing in the country," he concluded.
