Stand up on your own feet, then marry: CM to youth

Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy on Wednesday called upon youth to think about marriage only after standing up on their own feet.

Talking to media persons after participating in a ceremony to mark the conclusion of Swami Vivekananda’s 148th Birth Anniversary celebrations at NTR Stadium near Indira Park, the Chief Minister exhorted youth to follow the ideals of Swami Vivekananda and inculcate moral values in their life.

He asked them to focus on their studies and work hard to achieve their goals.

Mr Kiran Kumar Reddy pointed out that girls are faring better in their studies and competitive examinations as compared to boys. He advised youth to concentrate on studies instead of wasting their time on trivial issues. “Without hard work and discipline, you cannot come up in your life and achieve your goals,” he pointed out.

The Chief Minister suggested to the youth to enter wedlock after settling down financially. “Otherwise couples will face difficulties in their marriage,” he stated.

Badminton player Pullela Gopichand and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Bandaru Dattatreya also participated in the programme.
