Goa Chief Minister calls on youth to drive India’s development by 2047

Goa's Chief Minister, Pramod Sawant, addressed a two-day dialogue organised by BJP Yuva Morcha, urging the youth to contribute significantly to building a developed India by 2047. At the event in Vijayawada, Sawant emphasized that young politicians should focus on resolving people's problems rather than securing positions. He outlined five principles for young leaders: accessibility to people, accountability, inclusiveness, innovative thinking, and a nation-first approach.

Sawant stressed that political leadership should be measured by the grassroots-level changes they bring about and urged young people to gain experience in education, employment, or business before entering politics.

BJP State President P.V.N. Madhav echoed Sawant's sentiments, emphasizing that a developed India requires a developed Andhra Pradesh and called upon the State's youth to play a pivotal role in nation-building. He highlighted the importance of financial inclusion, infrastructure, self-reliant manufacturing, and social equality in achieving a developed India, citing initiatives such as 'Jan Dhan' accounts and the digital economy.

Madhav also reminded the youth of India's rich history, culture, traditions, languages, arts, and scientific and technological heritage, urging them to learn from the sacrifices of freedom fighters and be inspired by their ideals.

Party MP Raghunandan Rao cautioned the youth against letting emotions dictate their actions, urging them to think responsibly. MLA Sujana Chowdary stressed the importance of technological knowledge for young people, stating that human intelligence is paramount. Kamineni Srinivas urged the youth to lead value-based lives irrespective of their field.

BJP Yuva Morcha State President Sunil Reddy, who chaired the programme, reiterated the call for young people to participate in nation-building from the grassroots level. Several BJYM activists also participated in the dialogue, underscoring the collective effort towards achieving a developed India by 2047.
