It is said that in politics, what is shown does not happen and what happens is not visible. Big leaders of Congress and BJP are often heard on the stage calling upon the youth to enter politics. But when it comes to ticket distribution, youth and women are seen in the back row.

 

Something similar is visible in the Rajasthan assembly elections. Congress had decided to give maximum opportunities to the youth in its Chintan Shivir held in Udaipur and it was also said that maximum tickets would be given to the youth in the elections too, but the reality is that in the list of Congress 71 years There are 19 leaders above the age of. Among these also three are above eighty. At the same time, the BJP also often talks about taking the youth forward. This time it has set the limit at 75 years, but it also has nine candidates beyond the age of 71 years.

 

 

In normal life, people up to 40 years of age are considered young. Even if this age in politics is considered to be 50, both Congress and BJP have disappointed the young leaders who wish to go to the state's biggest Panchayat i.e. Legislative Assembly.
