The Punjab Youth Congress president, Mohit Mohindra, announced that the Congress party is considering fielding 60-70% young candidates in the 2027 Punjab Assembly polls. This proposal, attributed to Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, aims to leverage India's demographic dividend and provide more opportunities for youth leadership. Mohindra emphasized the necessity of youth representation to address issues like unemployment and drug abuse, while also criticizing the current AAP government's unfulfilled promises to young people.
