1.I feel that the young and middle-class people should participate in elections. And I think that the young candidates of various parties are ideally overpowered by the veterans of their parties. But I believe that we should be more suportive to them, vote them as a-lot-promising independent candidate would lose the race due to limited sources and unawareness of Indian voters. I expect a lot from young Leaders of various parties.
2.I never thought that our seniors are burden for our persent, or for the future. What I want to say that the Young Leaders or MPs and MLAs of various Political Parties had their own ideas, values and aspirations; but in the presence of the seniors they could not be able to publish and flourish their true selves.
One example I can present— Why political leaders in India should don Khadi, Kurtas, Bandh-galas etc., when general public never hesitate to wear western attire even during marriage or puja ceremonies. This is, in my view, due to too much effect of stereotype political ethics burdened by senior leaders. This is, perhaps, the first lesson of politics that the leader should look like the aam janta, this is the very first wrong step he takes.

In short, I think a leader should look what he is– a farmer should look like a farmer, a businessman should look like a businessman etc.–and should serve as politicians.
