BJP seeks youth support for change of guard in Bihar

Asserting that youths were the harbinger of change in the society, the BJP today sought their support in its quest to claim power in the forthcoming assembly elections in Bihar.
"Bihar has more youth in comparison to any other state in India. They have given opportunity to Congress, 15 years to Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi, 10 years to present chief minister Nitish Kumar. We appeal to them to give a chance to BJP also. We want to take the state ahead with prime minister Narendra Modi and Centre's help," senior BJP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi said.

Modi was speaking at a seminar on 'new government, good governance and youth politics' attended by Union minister for Skill development Rajiv Pratap Rudy, BJP general secretary and Bihar in-charge Bhupendra Yadav and party MP Gajendra Singh Sekhawat.
Sharing his experience from his early days in student politics and his part in JP Movement, Modi asked the youth not to see politics as a 'profession' but as a mission.
Speaking on the occasion, Rudy shared anecdotes from his political life spanning 25 years and said only 10 per cent people in politics have joined it either through family, agitation, movement, student politics, or by default like former Prime Minister Man Mohan Singh, or by dint of being a celebrity.

"These types of politicians did not harm politics. It is the other 90 per cent which have created hatred in common people's mind for politics. They mostly consisted of contractors and similar persons and their numbers have grown in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar," Rudy said.
