Congress General Secretary always argued that if the
development is to be completed more and more young people should join politics.
Their increased participation will cleanse the system and strengthen democracy,
he stressed on several occasions. And this strong positive concept reportedly
got a good acknowledgment in the
Congress party and the Jaipur Congress’ session is likely to have a good number
of youth.
The party this time has emphasized on the necessity for
adequate participation of youth. Of the 350 delegates invited to take part in
the Chintan Shivir, about 120 delegates will be from frontal organizations like
the Youth Congress and the National Students Union of India.
Young people will be given emphasis because the party is
seriously looking at emerging challenges such as protests by the youth and
forms of expression provided by tools such as social media platforms like
Twitter and Facebook. The Congress party understands the strength and influence
of social media among the youngsters and so correctly wants to reach out to all
age groups who use such tools.
New media or social media is something that services the
information needs of crores of young people. Congress thinks it would be of
worth to the government to see how it could be best leverage its own message.
In fact, reconnecting with the urban middle class and
improving delivery systems including dispensation of justice to the poor is
something that the party hopes to debate threadbare. These topics are clearly a
fallout of the recent protests that saw apolitical groups, largely comprising
the youth, who braved police batons and water cannons to protest against, what
is being perceived as a callous and an unresponsive system.
Proceedings of the Chintan Shivir will start with an opening
speech of Congress President Sonia Gandhi and will end on January 20 with the
adoption of the Jaipur Declaration.
