Meet the Top 10 Young Politicians of India
But the fact is, despite the presence of youth wings of all major political parties, the presence (and the role) of youth in national politics is inadequate.
In the current Indian Parliament, which has an average age of 53 years, there are only 79 leaders who are under 42. Most of them are well-educated. Of these, most young leaders are those who have an influential political background to back them up. A few young Members of Parliament are ministers as well.
Britain, the country from which we derived much of our political framework, boasts of a 43-year-old PM in David Cameron. But back home, we have to make do with the likes of Manmohan Singh. Oldies like Sharad Pawar, S.M. Krishna, Karunanidhi, Pranab Mukherjee, L.K. Advani, Kapil Sibal, Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee etc. dot the Indian political landscape.
Pakistan recently appointed a 34-year-old elegant and beautiful Hina Rabbani Khar as their foreign minister. In India, none of the young MPs have been considered good enough to head an important ministry and have always been appointed as junior ministers.
Let's take a look at 10 prominent young politicians of India many of whom are also ministers:
Agatha Sangma (born 24 July 1980)
Representing the Tura constituency of Meghalaya on the ticket of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Agatha Sangma is the youngest MP (and minister as well) in the Indian Parliament.

The young scion of the Scindia family of Gwalior is a 40-year-old Minister of State for Commerece and Industry. He represents Indian National Congress as an MP for the Guna constituency in Madhya Pradesh. His father Madhavrao Scindia was a prominent Indian politician and minister from the Congress Party.
After earning a management degree from the Stanford College in the United States, he worked as an investment banker for Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley and also gained some development experience working as an intern with the UN Economic Development Cell.
Sachin Pilot (born 7 September 1977)
Son of deceased Congress politician and Union Minister Rajesh Pilot (who was also a Squadron Leader in the Air Force and hence the name “Pilot”), 33-year-old Sachin Pilot represents the Ajmer constituency on the ticket of Indian National Congress. A management graduate from the prestigious Wharton Business School, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA, he is presently the Minister of State for Communications and Information Technology. He is married to the daughter of Farooq Abdullah.

Political Secretary of Sukhbir Badal
Prem Mittal has been appointed the "political secretary" of Punjab's self appointed Deputy CM Sukhbir Badal about 2 months back.
Political secretary is such an important post and should be given after careful consideration as he makes all the political decisions for a particular state.
But the person Prem Mittal whom Sukhbir Badal has appointed political secretary was in the Congress party some years back around 2006.What policies he can frame in the interest of Sikhs is anybody's guess.
This clearly shows that all these party names like BJP,Badal dal,Congress,Communist etc are just an eyewash to hoodwink and defraud the poor people and any one can cross over to any party for his convenience as their idealogies are same and according to the central govt's wishes.

NO PLANS TO RETIRE FROM ACTIVE POLITICS: PUNJAB CM
Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal said he had no plans to retire from the active politics as he was still ''feeling young.''
''I am still young and wanted to work more for Punjab and age would not create any hindrance in it.,'' Mr Badal told reporters on the sidelines of the fourth all India Punjabi Conference organised by the Punjabi University here. Accusing the UPA government of not providing adeaquate storage space for foodgrains, Mr Badal said the Centre was deliberately not vacating godowns which were full of foodgrains in Punjab.
He said the state had been facing ire of the farmers even as the accountability rested with the Centre. Replying to a question regarding extension in service of officers beyond their retirement, he said that the state cabinet had already taken the decision about it and in any circumstances no officer and employee would be given extension in service after his/her retirement.

Mr Badal was dropped by Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal from his cabinet and expelled by the SAD for anti-party activities about six months ago after he criticised the economic policies of the government in public. Mr Manpreet Badal is son of Mr Gurdas Singh Badal, a former MP and younger brother of Mr Parkash Singh Badal.

Punjab Approve Recuitment Policy of PRTC
Punjab Approves Recuitment And Regularization Policy of PRTC-Sukhbir
Sukhbir Singh Badal, Deputy Chief Minister Punjab said that Punjab has approved a new Recruitment and Regularization Policy, prepared by the management of PRTC, through which the drivers and conductors will be engaged by PRTC on direct contract and these workers will be considered for regularization after 5 years of their satisfactory service. He said that PRTC has also initiated the process for recruitment of 400 drivers on direct contract basis under the new recruitment policy. Talking to media persons after laying the foundation stone of an Ultra Modern Bus Stand to be constructed in an area of 43 Kanal (6.05 Acre) with a total cost of Rs.3.5 crores, Badal accompanied by Master Mohan Lal, Transport Minister, said that with a view to create more employment opportunity and to create a better and more committed work force for the Corporation, Government of Punjab had cleared this policy. He said that government felt that there was lack of commitment in the workers engaged through outsourcing and also they did not have any chance of getting any regular employment.
He said that under this Recruitment and Regularization policy the services of 77 drivers have been regularized. Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister in the presence of Transport Minister gave away appointment letters to 6 drivers of Budhlada depot. He said that PRTC was also in the process of getting Bus Stands constructed with modern facilities at Bathinda, Sangrur, Kapurthala & Faridkot on BOT basis.
Replying to Media queries, Transport Minister informed that the Government of Punjab has helped PRTC in a big way by converting 200 crores of loan and financial assistance extended to PRTC during the militancy period into equity and PRTC has for the first time since 1994 received an amount of Rs. 20 Crores in cash from Govt. of Punjab against the reimbursement of concessional travel facility to various categories.

BADAL, AMARINDER LOCKED IN ‘POLITICAL’ BATTLE
Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal said that the Akalis did not have any personal issues against Congress leader Captain Amarinder Singh. "Captain Amarinder takes a political war as a personal one," he said during media interaction after a programme at Panj Garaiyaan in the district.
"We always respect him and have no personal fight with him. He is only our party's competitor," said Chief Minister Badal, adding that he did not know why Captain Amrinder always attacked him and his family personally in bad and abusive language in political rallies and other functions which were not acceptable in this democratic country.
"In democracy, everyone has the right to say anything, and the Congress is a main opposition party in Punjab and has the right to raise questions against the ruling party, but not specific and particular personalities," said Badal. Talking on the issue of bifurcation of district Gurdaspur to make two new districts Pathankot and Batala, Badal simply said that these issues were raised by both BJP MLA Jagdish Raj Sahni and Transport Minister Master Mohan Lal and he had no information in this regard.
Badal chided Captain Amarinder Singh for deliberately drifting away and diverting the attention of the people from the core issue of development-the major poll plank in the forthcoming assembly elections due to his party's non performance and utter failure in the deliverance of clean and transparent administration to the people during his last tenure.
Badal categorically said: "Captain Amarinder had nothing to his credit to woo the voters except indulging in hollow slogans to malign us and to discredit our spectacular achievements for the overall development of the State."
