Young leaders are contesting council elections. Time for change, they say. It is a wind of change. With town and municipal election of the state knocking at the door, it is apparent that the young will be in the fray this time for a better cause and transformation.
Irangbui Hingleu, an intending young candidate from Jalukie in Peren district, asserted that the upcoming election will be free and fair where the public will liberally choose the most compatible candidates.
“Once our politics was directly or indirectly money and muscle power but these time it is the other way round. It is leadership and commitment to serve” the young leader said. Hingleu was awarded with an ‘excellence and personality award’ under the aegis of the Friendship Forum of India earlier.
Politics, for a change, is now understood to be an affair of knowing ‘who is the best leader for the people’ where work discipline, professionalism, management and interpersonal skills are the big demand. It seems leaders without a systematic manifesto and action plans will likely have few takers in the elections because the young generation cannot be hoodwinked anymore as was before.
