Replace Kharge first if Congress wants to empower youth: Ramchander Rao
Telangana BJP president N. Ramchander Rao criticized the Congress party, suggesting they replace national president Mallikarjun Kharge with a younger leader to truly empower Gen-Z. He also accused the state government of failing to fulfill promises regarding job creation, fee reimbursements, and university funding.
Why it matters
This reflects the ongoing political rivalry in Telangana and the strategic focus on youth demographics as a key voting bloc in Indian state politics.
State BJP president N. Ramchander Rao on Monday said that if the Congress was serious about empowering youth and the Gen-Z generation, it should first replace its national president Mallikarjun Kharge with a younger leader.
Addressing a press conference at the BJP State office, Mr. Rao said the BJP had already demonstrated its commitment to youth leadership by making Nitin Nabin as the national president. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s proposal to reduce the minimum age for contesting elections from 25 to 21 years was an attempt to divert public attention, particularly that of Gen-Z voters, from the Congress government’s failures and unfulfilled promises, he maintained.
