Doors to politics not closed, will give millennial touch if join in future: Aryaman Scindia
Aryaman Scindia, son of Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, says the doors for his entry into politics are not closed and he may join it at some stage. In an interview to PTI, Scindia said he would like to give a «millennial touch» to the country's politics, focusing it on issues affecting youngsters, if he takes the plunge in the future.
Scindia, who had earlier expressed his unwillingness to join politics, said politics with a focus on youngsters has economic dividends as well.
The 27-year-old entrepreneur and the new generation Scindia, who has taken up entrepreneurship as a career choice, said his politics will largely focus on educational development and promoting entrepreneurship among youngsters.
It was like charting an altogether different course for Scindia as he dabbled in startups, breaking away from the political lineage of his family, three generations of which have been in active politics.
While his father is the Union aviation minister in the Narendra Modi government, his grandfather, late Madhavrao Scindia, was a Congress stalwart.
His great grandmother, Vijyaraje Scindia, was a venerable BJP veteran.
«If I join politics in the future, there has to be a millennial touch and a youth angle to it. I have studied economics and from what I have read and understood, India with its demographic dividends really needs to focus on the youth of the country to materialise their productivity,» Scindia told PTI.
Asked if there are any second thoughts about joining politics in the future, he said he has not «closed the door» completely.
«We (in the family) have had conversations and I have always understood that you should never close a door. I may join politics in the future but it is definitely not something
