My dear countrymen, this year from Red Fort, I have urged one lakh youth who are not from a political background to connect with the political system. This point of mine has garnered tremendous response. We thus come to know that a large number of our youth are eagerly ready to enter politics. All they are looking for is the right opportunity and apt guidance. I have also received letters from youth across the country on this subject. Enormous response is being received on social media as well. People have sent me many kinds of suggestions…I thank each and everyone for sending in suggestions on the subject. I hope that now with our collective efforts, youth who do not possess a political background will also be able to come forward in politics…their experience and their fervour will prove useful for the country. Friends, even during the freedom struggle, many such people had come forward, who did not have any political background. They took the plunge for the sake of India’s freedom. Once more, we require the same spirit to attain the goal of Viksit Bharat. I shall urge all my young friends to positively join this campaign. This step of yours will be transformative in terms of your future and the country’s future.

Some people had the Tricolour adorn their shops, offices… people also did the same on their desktops, mobiles and vehicles. When people join hands to express a sentiment, it thus lends unparalleled glory to any campaign…
