He recalled how 10 -20 years ago no political party was willing to give power in the hands of younger generation.
Congress leader Sachin Pilot today said politicians are losing space and shine to Bollywood celebrities and business tycoons.
"Today, politicians are losing space and shine to Bollywood icons and businesses tycoons. Young generation in India are looking at icons beyond politicians," Pilot said during the ongoing 'Women Economic Forum' here.
"We politicians are not the one younger generation follow or look at. They are looking beyond it," he added.
Situation in some states like Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh is varied, the former Union Minister said. "At the same time no doubt in village areas in the states like MP, UP politicians are still looked as ideals. There has been greater change in political scenario," he added.
Pilot said 25 years back, there were no many young faces in Parliament but now the situation has changed for the upper and lower house of the country.
"At municipal election, zila parishad, block level president you see young faces. Here you see younger faces who are ready to take challenges. That is a real revolution. This scene is there across party lines," Pilot added.
He recalled how 10 -20 years back no political party was willing to give power in the hands of younger generation and said but now the situation has changed. "This country is getting more politically younger compared to any other country on the planet," he said. "The impact of politicians and politics is on decline for last couple of years," he added.
Pilot further said, "the thing about younger generation is that they think about the country over political views. They want India to be seen not just in south Asia but across the globe, united in its every developmental process."
The Congress leader said elections will come and go, party will win and lose, people will come and go but the country is far more than one man and one party.
He said today world is looking at India to provide a leadership globally. "People across globe want to see where India will stand in next 25 to 30 years," Pilot said.
