Sagar Khandre, at just 26, is all set to become youngest MP
He secured a victory over incumbent BJP MP, Bhagwant Khuba
He won with an impressive 665,162 votes
In a landmark moment for Indian politics, Sagar Khandre, at just 26 years old, is all set to become the youngest Member of Parliament (MP) in the country. Contesting from the Bidar Lok Sabha constituency, Khandre secured a decisive victory over the incumbent BJP MP, Bhagwant Khuba, marking a significant shift in the region’s political landscape.
Khandre, the son of Karnataka Minister Eshwar Khandre, ran on the Congress ticket and managed to turn the tide in a traditionally BJP stronghold. He won with an impressive 665,162 votes, defeating Khuba by a substantial margin of 129,396 votes. This victory not only showcases the changing dynamics in Bidar but also highlights the growing acceptance of young leaders in Indian politics.
Throughout the election campaign, Sagar Khandre faced criticism from senior BJP leaders, including Opposition leader R Ashok, who dismissed him as an “inexperienced boy” who would need assistance to carry his school bag and books if he won. However, Khandre’s resounding victory serves as a powerful rebuttal to these remarks, demonstrating his capability and the electorate’s faith in his leadership.
Sagar Khandre’s entry into Parliament at such a young age marks a significant achievement and sets a new precedent for youth involvement in the Indian political arena.
