Are you young and articulate? Team Modi hunts for future BJP Baahubalis

The BJP is planning to give a platform to young and aspiring politicians as a part of its talent hunt programme.

New Delhi, April 29: The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party is looking for young, dynamic and articulate aspiring politicians to join the saffron party across the country.

The BJP--which has already began its groundwork to win the Lok Sabha elections in 2019--is looking for young faces that understand the pulse of the nation and highlight various issues properly.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who of late is encouraging more and more young leaders to take up party responsibility, is on a mission to build a "New India". As a part of its talent hunt programme, the party is planning to conduct mock debates and discussions on issues close to people's hearts to select the best candidates.

Through the new entrants, the BJP wants to spread the party's ideology and message to millions of young Indians.

Reports say the BJP has set an ambitious "Mission 400" target for 2019 Lok Sabha polls. The BJP, which won 282 seats in 2014, has identified 120 Lok Sabha seats won by opposition parties in the last general election and has chalked out a strategy to win these seats.

BJP president Amit Shah embarked on a 15-day "Vistaar Yatra" (party expansion tour) earlier in the month to strengthen the party in some of the states ruled by opposition parties including West Bengal and Odisha. The party is also focusing on Kerala and Tamil Nadu as part of its efforts to expand its base.
