Akhilesh Yadav - the new youth icon in Indian politics

It is interesting to see how the electorate in the biggest state in India selected a new youth icon Akhilesh Yadav.

The mindsets are changing. The younger generation is voting for hope. They are hoping that youth icons like Akhilesh can make Uttar Pradesh a better place to live.




My five points for Akhilesh:

- Urbanise the villages and the towns (the mantra from Lee Kuan Yew, the ex-premier of Singapore)

- Induct educated people with clean images as ministers

- Cleanse the bureaucracy

- Have a goal to create at least 5 cities in UP to compete with modern cities like Singapore, Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur

- Last but not the least, make a determined effort to weed out corruption and corrupt people

All the best to you Akhilesh. May God be with you in making you take on a very challenging responsibility that can take you places.
