Sudesh Mahato Says Inherited Power Distances Administration From Masses
A leader named Sudesh Mahato is the president of a political party called AJSU in India.
He used to be the deputy chief minister of a state called Jharkhand.
At a big party meeting in the city of Jamshedpur, Mahato said the leaders running Jharkhand got their power from their families.
He said that because of this, those leaders have stopped caring about the problems of ordinary people.
Many young people in Jharkhand are upset and are protesting about something called the JPSC issue.
The young protesters are standing near the home of the Chief Minister in Ranchi, but Mahato says their voices are not being heard.
Mahato said the government must listen to the young people, and he called them the future strength of Jharkhand.
His party wants to help young people become strong leaders and organizers, not just party workers.
He also remembered Nirmal Mahato, a leader of the JMM party, who was killed in Bistupur on this day in 1987.
AJSU Party president and former deputy chief minister Sudesh Mahato said inherited power has distanced the Jharkhand administration from the problems of the masses.
He pointed to youth protests over the JPSC issue taking place a few hundred meters from the Chief Minister's residence in Ranchi, saying their distress is not reaching the corridors of power.
Mahato said the government will have to hear the voice of the protesting youths, whom he described as the future strength of Jharkhand.
He said AJSU Party will provide leadership to the youths and is preparing them as organizers and leaders rather than mere party workers.
Mahato paid homage to JMM President Nirmal Mahato, who was assassinated in Bistupur on this day in 1987.
