Quotes
Hemang Joshi
BJYM national president and BJP MP from Vadodara
“As for Rahul Gandhi, the kind of programmes he is conducting among the youth — even he and his team know that young people attend those programmes primarily for musical concerts. He has never talked about what solutions he has to any of their problems. He speaks in such a manner that even when there is something positive, he tries to find a problem in it.”

“The youth are not just the present of this country; they represent its future. We need to channel their energy positively; otherwise, it may go in unintended directions.”
