Yogendra Yadav Urges Parties to Unite Behind Youth
Yogendra Yadav said political parties should cooperate to help young people take part in public life.
He said youth need support, guidance and safe places to organize constructive activities.
He argued that young people are angry about problems in many systems, not only the NEET paper leak.
Other speakers said personality worship can weaken democracy and lead to authoritarian rule.
Some speakers criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party and what they called its political use of certain national issues.
They also urged people to reject divisions based on caste and religion.
The speakers said young people can help protect the Constitution and support weaker groups and minorities.
The meeting was organized by the B.P. Mandal Trust in support of democracy, secularism and social justice.
Yogendra Yadav called on political parties to work together to encourage youth participation in constructive movements.
He said young people needed guidance, encouragement and platforms to address the country’s challenges.
Yadav accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of using delimitation and “One Nation, One Election” for political gain ahead of 2029.
Speakers linked the Gen Z movement to wider dissatisfaction with system failures, including the NEET paper leak.
Participants warned against personality cults, communal politics and threats to democracy, while urging youth to defend constitutional and social justice.
