Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has been advocating strong support for participation of youths in politics.  He believes that experience of senior leaders and fresh energy and vigor of youth can be combined to optimize benefit for the political system of the country.   He has observed that political parties, including Congress, BJP and others, had not been open to bring the youth under respective folds. “With an aim to democratise the process of active participation, we are sincere about same in our frontal organisations of the party, Youth Congress and NSUI,” Gandhi said, adding that nominations would be a thing of the past and only elected people would man these set-ups. He has expressed hope that the common youth of this country would join these organizations in large numbers and in coming years its impact will be felt in politics. Talking about the Youth Congress organisation in Punjab, he has said, “In Punjab, top leadership of NSUI and Youth Congress has come from the grass root. At Panchayat and block level, maximum of our leaders are common youth, who are working for these organisations.”
