“National Conference has done a lot in this regard since its inception by providing a vibrant platform to youth and ensure their participation in the decision making by getting politically empowered”, he said while hoping their pro-active involvement in the affairs of the State.
Slathia said that joining of the public spirited and dedicated activists will further strengthen National Conference bastion and help in reaching out to the vast mast of people for mitigating their difficulties.
