NDTV published an opinion piece questioning why Generation Z, despite its ability to influence ministerial decisions, finds it difficult to secure seats in Parliament.
NDTV released an opinion article titled "Gen Z Can Topple A Minister. Why Can't They Enter Parliament?" that examines the paradox of youth political influence.
The piece highlights how Gen Z can mobilise support to pressure ministers into resigning, yet their representation in elected bodies remains limited.
It argues that systemic barriers such as age restrictions, electoral thresholds and party nomination processes hinder young voters from translating activism into parliamentary seats.
The author calls for reforms that would lower entry barriers and enable the next generation to shape policy directly from within the legislature.
