Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has proposed a new slogan: 'Jai Jawan - Jai Kisan - Jai Yuva', emphasising the urgent need to unlock the leadership potential of the youth and actively involve them in shaping the nation's future.
The CM urged the union government to introduce a constitutional amendment lowering the minimum age for contesting Legislative Assembly and Lok Sabha elections from 25 to 21
years.
He stressed that the youth, who are demonstrating leadership capabilities, should be provided with similar opportunities within the political system.
Speaking to reporters, Reddy said the Centre should consider the issue of lowering the minimum age for contesting elections alongside the delimitation of constituencies, increase in the number of Parliamentary seats and women's reservation.
