Tejaswi woos the young

Tejaswi Yadav, the country's youngest deputy chief minister, wants young men and women to take a more active part in decision- and policy-making. On Sunday, Bihar's Deputy CM - aged 26 - said: "In the Assembly elections, 45 tickets were given (by the Grand Alliance of the Janata Dal (United), Rashtriya Janata Party and Congress) to men below 43 years and to 10 women. All of them won." He added that the state government would soon form a commission to promote youth (aged between 16 and 24), who comprise 16.8 per cent of Bihar's population. The young politician had another trick up his sleeve. He said during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Narendra Modi had managed to attract the youth, helping him achieve a landslide victory. "There is not much time before the 2019 elections. Young people played a pivotal role in the making of Narendra Modi, so we must highlight to them how the NDA government has failed," he said.
