After the political changes brought by the Gen-G movement, voices of restructuring have been raised in the old parties demanding a strong position and leadership of the youth. In the Congress, UML and Maoists, the pressure to include the Gen-G generation and to place the youth in the leadership level in the Central Committee has started to increase.

Lobbying has started in the Congress to ensure at least 40 percent Gen-G youth representation at every level and structure of the party. For this reason, since the amendment of the constitution, the voice of the immediate party convention has been getting louder. 19 youths in the age group of 22 to 28 years have demanded to ensure youth representation through a joint statement on Sunday so that seven provinces will be represented. 

Vikal Rai, Sajan Yonjan, Vinodraj Joshi, Karuna Katuwal, Shrikrishna Bhattarai, Dinesh Chaudhary, Manoj Puri, Manju Vishwakarma, Karina Puri, Srijan Snehi, Gaurav Pandey, Muna Nepali, Vijay Pun Magar, Kiran Tiwari, Neelam Karki, Santosh Bhandari, Asha Namjali Magar, Deepen Dhimal and Sushil Godar suggested nine points to the Congress leadership through a joint statement. are. 

They have raised the need to increase youth representation in every structure from the active membership to the executive level of the party. For that, they insist that the youth should compete through a special or regular convention. They also demand that the fraternal organizations, including Navy Sangh, which are regarded as nurseries for producing leaders, should be restructured and that a 'Vote Ready Nepal' campaign should be run for the upcoming February 21 elections. 

Ahead of the meeting of the Central Working Committee of the Congress, which will be held from Tuesday, the New Union has made an institutional demand to amend the constitution, demanding to ensure 40 percent youth representation. "Despite the number of representatives in the active membership of the party, there is not much representation of the youth in the structure of the party from the wards to the center, it is not happy without increasing the representation of the youth to address the demands of the Gen-G movement and to create a modern party," said Dujang Sherpa, president of New Union. 

Despite the influx of young people into the active membership, leadership at all levels of Congress is dominated by members over 50 years of age. It is estimated that there are about 300,000 members in the age group of 18 to 40 years out of about 900,000 active members of the Congress. Among them, the active membership of the 25-year-old age group is only around 50,000. Gen-G movement has increased the pressure to increase the representation of this generation. 

Only if youth representation increases in the number of active members, the entry of youth into the executive level of every structure of the party will be ensured. Active members are the primary voters from the Congress ward to the central convention. Representatives elected from the active membership elect representatives from 165 constituencies to the Central Convention at the rate of 25 from each region (up to 26 or 27 in some inclusive clusters). The elected representatives from the constituencies select the central leadership.

Youth leader Ranjit Karna, who is also the former president of the Indian Union, said that a statutory provision should be made to increase the participation of youth to 50 percent in the constitution. Karna says that because the party does not have an 'exit policy' and the leaders of the party since 2048 have been in the leadership and office bearers of the party, there is a reluctance towards the Youth Congress. "From the current chairman to all the central leaders with office bearers, they have emerged from the politics of the New Union. The nursery where leaders are born has been made useless today due to the selfishness of the leaders as the convention has not been held for ten years,'' he said.

At present there is not even one percent of the age group around 40 in the Central Committee of the Congress. Congress General Minister Gagan Thapa and Vishwaprakash Sharma have promised to give proper place to the youth after the Gen-G movement.

Similarly, in the 311 central committees of UML, there are only about a dozen central members around 40 years old. Ishwari Gharti, Kumari Kamala Bohra, Ushakiran Timsena, Navina Lama, Rachna Khadka, Sunita Baral, Deepa Sharma, Sanjeev Jha, Manju Bhandari, Kiran Poudel, Jwalakumari Sah, CP Gharti, Arbind Singh, aged around 40 years, were selected from the 10th Congress in Chitwan in November 2078. Mahesh Bertaula of the same age group, Yumna Roka was nominated. About 4 percent of the central members of the UML Central Committee are in the age group of around 40. 

UML Central Committee member Bishnu Rizal said that when the CPN-Ma was founded in 2035, the leaders were on average 25 years old, but the same generation has been leading the party until now. According to him, Madan Bhandari was 37 years old when he became the General Secretary of UML in 2046, KP Sharma Oli was 43 years old when he became the Home Minister in 2051, Madhav Kumar Nepal was only 41 years old when he became the General Secretary of UML in 2050. 

'UML is a party made by youth. But can the youth be the head of the dynamic department? It is said,' he said, 'when our leadership was around 40 years old, the party and the state were run. Now opportunity should be given to test the ability of youth leaders. If the new generation is given an opportunity, they will be able to test their abilities.''

UML's legislative convention held on August 20 to 22 denied the youth the opportunity to become a leader after removing the age limit of 70 years and not being allowed to serve more than two terms. At present, there is a majority of leaders above 50 years of age in the official ranks of UML. The leader who has passed 60 years in the party is spinning in circles. 

The central committee of the Maoists, which met on October 9 and 10, decided to hold a convention in the last week of November. At the meeting, it was decided to make the Gen-G generation mandatory to attend the convention after there was a widespread demand to give the youth a place in the leadership level. In the political report of Pushpa Kamal Dahal, he wrote that the youth generation should be kept at every level of the party. It is mentioned in the decision of the Maoists that '1000 members will be represented in the General Conference by one person equal to 1000 members and when selecting representatives based on the number of members, one woman representative for every three people, one Dalit and one youth representative from each district' will be made mandatory.

There will be one more representative of Gen-G group from district and division. Mandatory representation of seven women, two Dalits and one youth from each province, three women, one Dalit and one youth out of ten non-geographical members should be mandatory,'' said the Maoists. The Maoist Congress Organizing Committee has 648 central members. According to the Maoists, 20 percent of them are youths around 40. There is a provision in the constitution of Maoists that 20 percent of the youth should be retained. In this way, there are 130 leaders in the Maoists who are around 40 years old. 

Maoist central leaders of around 40 years include Madhav Sapkota, Sudan Kiranti, Amanlal Modi, Saral Sahayatri, Yuvraj Dulal, Ranjit Tamang, Surendra Basnet, Vijay Gautam, Om Vikram Bhat, Renu Chand, Kalpana Mian, Rahbar Ansari, Indra Angbo, Yuvraj Bhattarai, Yuvraj Chaunlagai, Anil Sharma, DP Dhakal, Gopal Sharma, Nirmal Acharya, Subodh Sirpaili, Ramesh Dhami and Pancha Singh among others.

 Leader Madhav Sapkota said that more than 20 percent youth, including Gen-G, will be included in the upcoming convention. "Maoist has included the youth more than other parties. It has already been decided that the position of the youth will increase in the next congress, he said. Another central member, Surendra Basnet, said that after the Gen-G movement, the parties should include the sentiments of the youth and give enough space. "Since the future of the country is in the hands of the youth, the youth generation should be given a proper role in the party organization," he added.

Under the leadership of Smriti Timilsina, a central member of the All Revolutionaries, the 'Zen-G Red Force' has expanded to the district level. The force is said to have branches in 40 districts and it is said that this force was formed to pressure the representation of youth in the organization.
