Quotes
Narendra Singh Tomar
Madhya Pradesh Assembly Speaker and senior BJP leader
“When we came into government, there used to be only 300-400 startups in the country. Today, there are thousands of startups because of competition. These startups have the same young people whom you call 'Gen-Z', whereas I call them 'Tarun Bharat'.”
NDTV
“Certainly, Gen-Z is being talked about everywhere today, but I would urge that instead of using the term 'Gen-Z', if we use the term 'Tarun Bharat', it would be much better.”
