- Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore shared career and life insights at NDTV Yuva 2026
- He emphasized maintaining calm under pressure in politics and life situations
- Rathore welcomed Raghav Chadha’s shift from AAP to BJP, calling it a return to the right path
Rajasthan Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore today shared a lot of insights into career, politics and life in general as he addressed the audience at the NDTV Yuva 2026. He drew parallels with his military career and how he followed a disciplined approach in everything he did.
On politics, the Rajasthan Youth Affairs and Sports Minister said it is important to maintain calm under pressure in any situation.
Referring to Raghav Chadha leaving the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and joining the BJP yesterday, he said people are slowly realising what's good and seeing the right path now.
"Anybody is welcome. Raghav Chadha is also welcome. Slowly, slowly people are getting clarity and returning to the right path," Rathore said.
Chadha left the outfit led by former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, after months of speculation, along with six other MPs and merged with the BJP.
On what message he wants to give to the youth, Rathore appealed to them to believe in themselves and not in "filters" on social media.
"Make your target high. Youth can achieve anything. You will face failures along the way, but that's a sign you're on the right path because your target is very high. You have to get up again and keep going," Rathore added.
Rathore, who retired from the army in 2013, left behind a legacy of service that continues to inspire those pursuing military careers. His transition from a soldier's life to public service was about serving the people of the country with discipline and dedication. He has worked relentlessly to empower India's youth through programmes like Khelo India, and promoting fitness, innovation and digital literacy across the country.
