Jaipur, March 7 Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje said on Saturday that, regardless of the positions she has held throughout her political career, the affection of the people was her greatest achievement, asserting that if one works hard, political success will come on its own.
Addressing the 'Sashakt Yuva-Sashakt Rashtra' conference organized by Yuva Shakti Parishad Rajasthan here, Raje said, "The love of the people of Rajasthan is the biggest achievement for me. In politics, everyone wants a 'position', but if you work well, the 'position' will come to you on its own."
She also expressed concern over the growing problem of drug abuse in the state and urged the youth to stay away from it and help the government in curbing the problem.
Referring to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, she said that the youth of Rajasthan were equally capable of earning global recognition.
The former Chief Minister asked the youth to make effective use of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing, adding that the leaders in these fields would lead the world in the future.
She also urged the youth to actively participate in decision-making and become job creators rather than job seekers.
Citing examples of countries such as Sweden, Japan and Germany, Raje said they progressed by investing in their youth. India too, is witnessing a new wave of innovation, incubation and startups led by young people, she asserted.
