Mumbai: Shiv Sena organised a ‘Yuva Samvad’ programme in the Andheri Assembly constituency, which witnessed enthusiastic participation from a large number of young people.

The interactive programme provided a platform for Gen Z and other young participants to directly engage with Dr. Shrikant Shinde and raise questions on education, startups, Artificial Intelligence (AI), competitive examinations, employment, opportunities for artists and learning the Marathi language.

Dr. Shinde responded to the questions in an open and interactive atmosphere, emphasising that young people should not be viewed merely as a vote bank, but through the lens of their aspirations and future.

The programme was organised by Andheri MLA Murji Patel and was attended by Industries Minister Uday Samant, MP Ravindra Waikar and several other Shiv Sena office-bearers.

Speaking on the occasion, Murji Patel said that young people today have high expectations from Shiv Sena.

Murji Patel said that he had pledged to take Shiv Sena’s message to every household and that this work was continuing. Describing himself as a grassroots worker, he said that many people who connect with him come from ordinary families and slum communities.

Praising Dr. Shrikant Shinde’s accessibility and commitment to party workers, Patel said that Dr. Shinde remains closely connected with party workers and is always available to them whenever needed.

Industries Minister Uday Samant commended Dr. Shrikant Shinde’s hard work and sense of patriotism. He said that Dr. Shinde completed his medical education through determination and hard work and has always demonstrated a strong sense of national commitment.

Referring to ‘Operation Sindoor’, Samant said that India gave a befitting response to the terrorist attack on the country and that Shrikant Shinde took the initiative to present India’s position and the facts surrounding the operation before the world.
