Chandigarh : Punjab Congress chief Capt Amarinder Singh today announced that 35 of the 117 party tickets in the Assembly elections would be given to the youth.
He was addressing a function organised at Punjab Congress Bhawan to announce the merger of the Youth Organisation of India (YOI) into the Congress.
He said the inclusion of youth had been suggested by Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi. He also clarified that youth representation would be based on their hard work and contribution to the party and not on any kinship or relationship.
H said the Congress government would ensure “one job to each family”. He said that it would include jobs in both government and private sectors, besides developing entrepreneurship skills and opportunities to them. He told them that this was going to be his last election and his only aim was to see the smile back on the faces of all Punjabis.
“I don’t need or seek 25 years. Just give me five years to bring Punjab back on the path to prosperity,” he said, referring to Sukhbir, who has been seeking 25 years to rule.
