Youth must enter politics but with training: Kiran Bedi

BANGALORE: Only those youth with adequate training about governance and related issues should enter politics and cleanse the system from the roots, said Kiran Bedi, one of the key members of India Against Corruption. 

"Yes, the youth must enter politics. But only considering it as a public service and not for the sake of power. The process should start from one's student days by way of involvement in community service. The civil society should groom such people. They should have spotless character. Rotary Club should take up more responsibility and start schools to train such people on governance and democracy," Bedi said. She was delivering a lecture on the topic "Changing India - need for youth to consider politics as vocation" at the 36th Rotary district conference 'Akarshan' in Bangalore on Saturday.
