Harsh, Gopal or Jignesh? Who is the young maharathi in Gujarat politics?

A new chapter of youth leadership is beginning in Gujarat politics. Young MLAs emerging from BJP, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress have become a hot topic at the center of power. In this, leaders like Harsh Sanghvi, Gopal Italia and Jignesh Mevani are creating their own identity in the front row of Gujarat politics. These young leaders are moving forward in politics by presenting their views accurately through social media and adhering to the party's policies.
Harsh Sanghvi: The young face of BJP:
BJP's Harsh Sanghvi is working as the Minister of State for Home Affairs in the Gujarat government. This young MLA, who comes from the Jain community, is considered close to the top leadership. Harsh, who is active on social media, is known for his unique style of work. It is not easy to fulfill the responsibility of Home Minister, but he is fulfilling this role well despite criticism and controversies. He is also teasing some top leaders of Gujarat BJP like a hawk, and there are public discussions about his jealousy towards Harsh from time to time.
Gopal Italia: Your Bold Leader:
Aam Aadmi Party's Gopal Italia has been elected as an MLA from Visavadar. This young leader of the Patidar community is creating a stir in Gujarat politics with his bold and accurate speech. He repeatedly attacks BJP's Harsh Sanghvi and Gujarat BJP President C.R. Patil. In particular, C.R. Patil is even called a bootlegger. With Gopal's combative style and the courage to challenge the BJP-Congress, he is emerging as the only leader in Gujarat.
Jignesh Mevani: Congress's voice for social justice:
Jignesh Mevani of Congress is known as a passionate leader of the Dalit community, elected as an MLA from Vadgam. Jignesh, who entered politics through the fight for social justice and rights, is in the news in the state's politics with his aggressive and logical speech. He especially highlights the issues of Dalits and weaker sections and is at the forefront of criticizing the policies of the BJP government. His activism on social media and participation in mass movements have made him popular among the youth.
Role of youth leadership in Gujarat's politics:
Apart from these three leaders, young leaders emerging from various communities in Gujarat are playing an active role in politics. Harsh Sanghvi's management skills, Gopal Italia's assertive style and Jignesh Mevani's fight for social justice give a new dimension to Gujarat's politics. In the era of social media, these leaders have been successful in conveying their party's policies and ideologies to the people.
Who among these young maharathis will emerge in Gujarati politics in the coming times will be decided by the voters of Gujarat and time. But it is certain that Gujarati politics is moving in a new direction with the power of youth.
